Katie MF Reveals Debut Album “False Starts, Open Endings”

Katie MF has released her incredible debut album, False Starts, Open Endings via Lockjaw Records. The singer, guitarist and songwriter embraces the anti-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, do-it-yourself ethic of punk rock, and effortlessly combines this with the socially conscious storytelling associated with folk music. Katie’s style of music isn’t easy to categorise, and she wouldn’t want it any other way. Her passionate delivery, thought provoking lyricism and raucous live shows have captivated audiences far and wide.

The record embodies Katie MF‘s punk sensibilities while showcasing her literate, earnest songwriting. This is illustrated by the foot stomping vibrancy of opening track, Lucky MF, written in the aftermath of a freak car accident where a chunk of metal crashed through the windscreen narrowly missing Katie’s head, to the bittersweet love ballad of August Arrived. 

False Starts, Open Endings is a record that takes no prisoners exploring a plethora of topics including the dire state of UK politics and patriarchal issues to past relationships and the joy she finds in her DIY community. False Starts, Open Endings is a diverse album characterised by Katie’s rowdy guitar and uncompromising lyrics and accented beautifully by the driven jazz-tinged drums of Tobias Alexandar and production of Nick Harris.
