Whitney K (Fire Records, CAN)
Whitney K is the musical vehicle for Canadian born songwriter Konner Whitney. He is known for his agile lyricism, unpolished yet luminously resonant recordings, and a gritty baritone that balances cool detachment with profound emotional undercurrents. For years, Whitney K existed as an amorphous moving target, as restless as the man behind it. After a string of cassette releases, the band focused its vision on their highly praised 12” debut, Two Years (2020; Maple Death Records), a pivotal period during which band-member Josh Boguski’s role solidified as primary collaborator and producer. Together with multi-talented musicians Avalon Tassonyi and Michael Halls, their synergy has since yielded two more acclaimed albums on Maple Death: Hard to be a God (2022), an immersive orchestral EP, and Vivi! (2023), a frenetic live album preserving their first international tour.
“Nomadic Canadian channelling magical realism, country rock and Lou Reed” Uncut
“Whitney’s ability to capture a deep existential yearning and conjure majesty through a connection to something far bigger and more meaningful is immediately striking.” Paste
Now the group have returned to Boguski/Halls’ makeshift home-studio in Montreal to craft their first album for Fire Records. Stripping back and pushing forward, the band is conjuring their most raw yet refined work to date—an honest, sonically paradoxical collection that finds fresh possibilities in the familiar shapes of rock, pop, and folk with the same unfiltered energy and poetic gravity Whitney K fans have come to expect.
