Kan Wakan combine deep soul, dramatic folk, and orchestral pop for a noir-kissed sound that could re-score a vintage James Bond flick with ease and grace. At the heart of the Los Angeles band are Bulgarian-born composer Gueorgui I. Linev, bona fide chanteuse Kristianne Bautista, and ace guitarist/producer Peter Potyondy, and above you can hear their combined might.
“Forever Found” swoons and saunters magnificently thanks to a fleshed-out studio band and the addition of the Metamorphosis Chamber Orchestra as conducted by Linev’s uncle, Bulgarian Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra music director/conductor Stefan Linev. Meanwhile, a beautifully shot video follows an urban cowgirl through her strange and beautiful day.
Kan Wakan will release their full-length debut, Moving On, April 29 via Verve.
