Seattle duo Katherine Hepburn’s Voice released Unlimited Nights and Weekends this year, an album that can be maddeningly difficult to track down and purchase. The pair of Shannon Perry and D.W. Burnam creates lo-fi experimental Dream Pop, that reminds me quite a bit of local Minneapolis band (former band?) Coach Said Not To. The comparison particularly comes across in this track, “Out Like This” a whimsical piano driven melody with just a hint of melancholy. This song is among their more conservative, but I love it for its lovely hook and almost childlike singalong vocals. Also, as a bonus, here is the unreleased “Elevator.”

I sure hope they sound better on an mp3, I haven’t listened to that yet, but I did hear them performing live on KEXP last night and I swear, if I were a dog, I’d still be howling.
Wretched. Horrid. What a joke. I can’t believe anyone is taking KHV seriously. Anyone could sing like Shannon Perry. Anyone. But that doesn’t mean they should record and release it on the public.
I love the band’s name. I wanted so much to like the band, but, come on, they suck!
Well, well, well. I tried to download the songs, but they’ve been removed. Hmm, KHV, perhaps having them removed? Embarrassed to sound so bad?
