Sapropelic Pycnic, Ka Baird's very fresh Drag City debut, harkens otherworldly sounds and brings them back down to earth. Evoking rhythms and chants of the tribes, Ka reaches down into the mud of time immemorial to present something that never goes out of style - a catharsis of soul and an expression of devotion that comes from within, touching the eternal.  "Metamorphoses" is a sharp and focused amalgamation of all sounds found on Sapropelic Pycnic-- synthesized elements with bursts of electrifying intensity. Directed by Ka herself, the video for "Metamorphoses" is a hallucinatory experience, much like the song! It premiered with NPR Songs We Love today, but you can watch here now:
