We’ll start off a series of Boston artists with a former<\/em> Boston artist, a recent defection to Austin. Kristen Ford<\/a><\/strong>, whom we’ve covered before<\/a><\/strong>, has released the first single from her upcoming live video album titled Tighten It Up<\/a><\/strong>. On this new album, multi-instrumentalist Ford explores the musical possibilities of live looping as a one-woman-band, adding guitars, pedal effects, drums and her vocals into the mix in ever flowing, creative ways. No editing, no studio magic, no auto-tune; what you see is what you get. At a time when nearly everything is processed and filtered, it’s refreshing to see an artist confident enough to work without a net. You watch as it unfolds and her smooth style draws you in, as does her personally invested lyrics. Her no-nonsense style comes through loud and clear in this format, adding to the poignancy of her music.<\/p>\n
