Amythyst Kiah's Rounder Records debut Wary + Strange marks the glorious collision of 2 different worlds: iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion & roots/old-time music where she’s found success including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” The Chattanooga-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she’s displayed as a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout “Black Myself” earned a GRAMMY nom for Best American Roots Song & won Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Awards.
Wary + Strange endlessly redefines the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, Kiah gracefully interlaces political commentary & personal revelation, ultimately offering a raw yet nuanced examination of grief, alienation & the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance.
