Some artists feel powerful on record, others feel dangerous in the best way. Kilgore is by far a part of the latter group. Across her latest self-release TELL YOUR GHOST, Kilgore’s energy crackles with defiance and emotional volatility, especially on “HIGH/LOW” and the venom-laced “WISH YOU WERE DEAD.” “I tried to let you in my heart but you just crawled in my head. I used to wish you were all mine now I just wish you were dead”—oof, that stings. Her lyrics have proper bite, her vocals are commanding, and her instrumentation and lyrical intentions shift around enough to keep every track feeling quite fresh. Kilgore is one to watch.
