After selling out the Walnut Room for their Denver CD release party, Jen Korte and her band, The Loss, will do the Boulder version November 12, at the b.side.
Recent media coverage for Korte has included a cover story in OutFront and a 1500-word feature in Westword. Among the reviews:
“… it's a work of sheer beauty that utterly consumed us the first time we heard it.” Dave Herrera, Westword
“An unbelievable record. It’s brilliant.” Jake Schroeder, KQMT
“Jen Korte is not a thousand feet tall, but her voice makes you believe that she is.” Dave Preston, Colorado Music Buzz
“Many of Korte's songs have an anthemic structure, and the dual voices of Korte and DeNicola blend into a heartfelt wail of fury and anguish …” Candace Horgan, The Denver Post
Korte's weathered, world-weary voice (reminiscent of Rachael Yamagata and Lucinda Williams), teamed with harmonies from Jessica DeNicola and the band’s evocative use of instrumentation, create a late-night listen-by-yourself album that does not neatly fit into any genre. As Korte describes it, "a little bit of makeout music, a little bit of crying music, and a little bit of rock."
Originally from a small Texas town outside of Austin where she had a band, Korte relocated to Denver four years ago where she has established herself as a formidable presence in singer/songwriter and indie folk circles
