What\\u2019s black and white and can crush you like a bug? A piano. These monsters weigh anywhere from 300 lbs for a small upright, to four or even five times that for a concert grand. So why do artists let them sound so wimpy? KRISTEENYOUNG wants the piano to kick your ass. Their new album, Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, feels like it was born in the boxing ring, not some sun-dappled Laurel Canyon living room.

\\n

\\u201cI wanted to create a new sound for piano on this album, and for it to be just as powerful and creative as any guitar-based record. I wanted it to sound like a wall of pianos, but like the wall in the film, Caligula: a wall that moves and decapitates everyone,\\u201d says Kristeen Young. The singer and composer has played since her childhood in St. Louis, and she knows what the piano is capable of. She sought to recapture the fiery, dangerous noise early rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino wrought from the instrument\\u2019s eighty-eight keys, albeit in a wholly modern way.

\\n

Young\\u2019s foil in KRISTEENYOUNG is drummer \\u201cBaby\\u201d Jef White, whose energy and fills bring to mind the great British drummers, but whose groove is undeniably American. Together, the duo has forged a sound full of percussive impact and melodic grandeur.

\\n

You think the White Stripes make a big ruckus for a two-piece? Bah! \\u201cStop Thinking\\u201d is anchored by low-end tone clusters that pummel like thunder. Yet Music for Strippers\\u2026 has moments of startling simplicity, too, as on its closer, \\u201cHalfway Across the Atlantic Ocean.\\u201d \\u201cAn album should be a spectrum of emotion,\\u201d says Young. \\u201cFar too often, people just deliver one thing. I try to run the gamut.\\u201d
