Kassie Richardson, who performs solo as Kass Richards, grew up in rural Virginia, just east of Patsy Cline’s hometown. A common weary break of the voice, a tug of the lonesome, can be detected in her singing. Richards has been a central member of the U.S. Girls band and most recently was one of many musicians chosen by Meg Remy to help record her acclaimed album Heavy Light (4AD), at Hotel2Tango. Richards brought her own always-live, traditional/folk style back to the same Montreal studio to work on what would become her debut album, The Language Shadow, released in December 2020. The album is one of timeless honesty, providing a spare, at times eerie updating on a classical approach.
