A SWEEPING INTRODUCTION TO AN ARTIST DEEP INTO THEIR PRACTICE, KENDRA AMALIE’S INTUITION IS A STAR MAP TO A NEW AND DEVELOPING SOUND SPACE. AN EXPLORATORY AND (SOMETIMES) SHREDDING FINGER-STYLE 12-STRING GUITARIST (BOTH ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC), BAND LEADER, SYNTHESIST, NEW MEDIA CREATOR, AND EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCER, THE WISCONSIN-BASED MUSICIAN IS ALSO A SONGWRITER OCCUPYING AN ETHEREAL ZONE BETWEEN GALAXY-BRAIN COSMIC TRANSMISSIONS AND DEEP, PERSONAL EXPRESSION. RECORDED WITH FRIENDS IN HER SHED IN SAINT FRANCIS, INTUITION’S BAND INCLUDED A CORE RHYTHM SECTION OF DRUMMER VICTORIA ROBISON AND BASSIST SAM COOK, WITH REMOTE SUPPORT FROM TARALIE PETERSON (CELLO), AL MOSS (PEDAL STEEL), PETER MCLAUGHLIN (DRUMS) AND JAYVE MONTGOMERY (OBOE), ALONGSIDE THE MIXING EFFORT OF LONG-TIME COLLABORATOR BRIAN J. SULPIZIO IN CHICAGO. THE LIVE ITERATION OF THE ALBUM IS MORE SHAPE-SHIFTING, ENCOMPASSING SOLO PERFORMANCES ACCOMPANIED BY MOTION-CONTROLLED SYNTHS AS WELL AS MORE FULLY SUPPORTED BY A CORPOREAL ROCK BAND. INTUITION IS A SOUND-BASED CROSS-SECTION OF A LARGER BODY OF WORK. AN ARRIVAL AND A DESTINATION, INTUITION IS ALSO SURELY A STOPOVER, TOO.
