Kaki King Career

In 2005, she parted ways with major label Sony and returned to her original label, Velour. Kaki performed as an opening act for Eric Johnson during a leg of his 2005 tour.For her third album Until We Felt Red, King made a conscious decision to depart from her previous musical direction, out of a desire to escape being pigeonholed as a solo instrumental artist. The album features King's vocals on more tracks than previous albums. With the prominence of electric guitar on

the new record and the addition of a full band, the popular music website AV Club called the sound a “post-rock makeover”. Featuring production work by Tortoise's John McEntire, the album was released on August 8, 2006 on Velour Records.

In a MySpace bulletin on July 5, 2006, King announced that she would play with a full band for the first time on her "Until We Felt Red" tour. King's talents began to catch on within the music industry, and more artists became interested in using King as a guitarist on their tracks. In 2007, she was featured as a guest guitarist on The Con, an album by Canadian indie-pop/rock band Tegan and Sara, released on July 24, 2007. She appears on the tracks “Knife Going In”, playing lap steel, and on “Floorplan”, playing guitars. Both songs were written by Sara Quin.
