In April, Desiree introduced the promotional video to strange, artsy, and tantalizing cut “The Kingdom.” A quick review? Sure:

She bemoaned the fact that the LP was only available across the pond. Fit and frustration, she said. Well, fit and frustrate no longer, o! weary traveler! NPR’s First Listen is hosting the stream. Right now. Here.

The most common descriptions fall somehow flat: “challenging.” “Sultry.” “Lyrical.” So, tell you what. We’ll do our best to add a few words to the chatter, and then you just click and listen.

Deal? Deal! Here we go: Textured. Composed. Fleeting. Strange. Artsy. Tantalizing. Challenging. Sultry. Lyrical.

Now scram.
