This collection of ten songs—featuring appearances by today's finest roots musicians such as Allison Russell, Aoife O'Donovan, and Taj Mahal—showcases Kater's biting topical songwriting and deft arranging chops. Strange Medicine's intricate orchestrations were inspired by diverse sources: composer Steve Reich's propulsive minimalism, the frenetic jazz drumming of Brian Blade, the unsettling orchestral scores of film composer Jonny Greenwood, and the spiraling rhythms of the West African kora. Furthermore, Kater's delicate yet robust banjo playing charts new territory well beyond what's expected of the instrument. With Strange Medicine, Kater taps into the full kaleidoscope of her artistry, creating an outlet for our collective grief and celebration and inviting the ancestors to a place of honor at the table. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePRINT:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUncut - Americana Album of the Month review confirmed (next issue)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUncut - Americana Round Up- out now\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNewsweek Country Music Breaking Barriers piece\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSonglines May issue\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRnR confirmed\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eONLINE: \"The Internet\" single album announce Coverage in Ameircana UK and Folk Radio UK \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlbum coverage in Just Listen To This\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRADIO: BBC Radio Scotland, Meridian FM, Swindon Radio's Crooked Road, Acoustic Routes radio, The Folk Pilot Radio and Jorvik Radio. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD Tracks: The Witch ft.
