BEAT - Single of the Week (8 April)
"...Mckisko launches a debut album with this bold double A-side single; two gorgeous, minimalist tunes with fiery blood. The Hollow Boat is raw and aching, but beautifully restrained, a careful trickle of instruments around her stark, perfect voice. A Difficult Crossing has a feverish pitch, but again, she holds everything together with perfect grace. There is a folk-ish temper to her music, but McKisko is more glorious and wilful than the word allows. Amazing".

The lonely solo artist this week, lonely is perhaps the way the melancholic folk-tinged singer-songwriter McKisko would prefer it. Bejewelled with a strikingly sweet voice, McKisko’s first two tunes from her upcoming debut album Glorio show why she was chosen to support Jose Gonzales on a recent Australian tour. Their two styles are remarkably similar. Minimal to the core, using an array of instruments but always with the rawly crystalised vocals out front, McKisko’s songs are embedded with the same feeling of sad mythology that oftens accompanies Gonzales’ best work. While both of the songs here deal with sad ocean-faring lyrics (a theme this week), they feel less like the nautical-indie of Port O’Brien, and more like an ancient poem, in the style of Grand Salvo minus the fairytale. Definitely an album artist rather than a hit single factory, it will be interesting to hear what McKisko has further to offer, as she launches the album at the Troubadour on April 5.
