Atwood Magazine profiled singer-songwriter Kalina Tyne.

Tyne seems to have a pattern for eye-catching track names; in fact, she says that writing “Chandler Bing” spawned a series of videos featuring songs named for other various sitcom characters and celebrities (Bridgers and Smith included).” Sure, it’s a healthy dose of clickbait, but to be quite frank, we’re okay with it – mainly because Tyne’s haunting, lush indie folk is all-killer, no filler: Intimate emotional outpourings wash over the ears in waves of softly stirring guitars and vocals that rise to a fever pitch in immersive choruses aching with the sweet rush of cathartic release. So what if the song name is as catchy as the music itself? This is clickbait done right; we’re glad we pressed play.


Aquarium Drunkard interviewed singer-songwriter June McDoom.
