Korean-born, Seattle-raised Joe Kye is a violinist, composer,
and vocalist who discovered the magic of the loop pedal in
college. That vision resonates with a bittersweet optimism, a
measured hope for change and coming together on Migrants,
his debut full-length album and third release. Kye’s crisp
playing, layered in swirls of pizzicato arpeggios and percussive
elements, forms the foundation for clever and reflexive lyrics
and a tender, urgent voice.
