"You Are Loved" the debut album available now directly from www.kimgarrison.com, cdBaby and iTunes:
Inspired by the cities of Paris, San Francisco, New York and Galway, the writing of Anais Nin and the artwork of Gustave Moreau, Kim's music digs deep and then nestles close to the heart, whispering moments of truth, battling with love and lust and offering an intimacy as compelling as it is provocative.
'You Are Loved' was recorded at Monkeyboy Studios in Brooklyn,NY with producer Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson,) and engineer Brian Fulk (Martha & Rufus Wainwright). Featured on the record is Alex Nahas on the chapman stick and Harry Green as well as Matt Johnson (Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, Beth Orton) on drums. Currently being played on 180+ college and independent radio stations across the country, You Are Loved offers ethereal highs and earthy, melancholic lows - an effortless blend of indie rock and freak folk.
Kim currently lives in New York City and has a not-so-secret love of country music, Muse, Bon Iver, Editors and Oldschool Jungle. Her record is out now and available on iTunes, CDbaby, Amazon and kimgarrison.com :)

"...lovely, dark, deep songs sewn up with a ribbon of country twang." - Boston Phoenix
"...a fresh and fierce songstress with a penchant for driving rock lullabies and gritty, gut-punching melodic hooks that hang in the air and do flips." - city of dis
"The debut album from Kim Garrison, “You are Loved”, is an atmospheric, vocal-driven concoction, satisfyingly heavy but not dense. “You are Loved” has an ethereal tone to it, somewhat like the vocals of Bat for Lashes combined with smooth, complimentary instrumentation. A highlight of the album is the cover of Jeff Buckley’s “The Sky is a Landfill”, which shows off Kim’s vocal prowess, while still doing homage to the original. "
- WLUR 91.5
"...la musique de Kim Garrison se place entre rock indé et folk gracile, entre ombre et lumière, entre éther et abîme. Mi-ange, mi-démon... sorte de fille spirituelle de Jeff Buckley et de PJ Harvey." ["Kim Garrison's music waves between indie rock and willowy folk, between shadow and light, between ether and abyss. Half-angel, half-demon, a kind of spiritual daughter of Jeff Buckley and PJ Harvey."]- Election Song

"Healing is communication; and music, in its universal nature, is total communication. In the deepest mysteries of music are the inspirations, the pathways, and the healing which lead to one-ness and unity." ~Olivea Dewhurst-Maddock
