We’re pleased to bring you the exclusive stream of Karina Denike‘s new track “Park It.” The song is taken from Karina Denike’s new album, titled Under Glass, out today! The album features guest musicians like Brigid Dawson (Thee Oh Sees), Alex Dessert and Deston Berry (Hepcat), Meric Long (The Dodos) and Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, B-52s).

Karina Denike comments:

“I am so fortunate to count some of my very favorite musicians as colleagues and friends, so naturally they were recruited and guilted into playing on my record. Harmonizing with vocalists Alex Dessert and Deston Berry (Hepcat), Brigid Dawson (Thee Oh Sees), and Lily Taylor ( Pour Le Corps Records) was a total blast as was getting to harmonize lines with Aaron Novik’s bass clarinet. Not to mention having an opportunity to feature Michael McIntosh’s stride piano sass, Ralph Carney classic tenor, James Frazier’s spaghetti Western baritone stylings and Ara Anderson’s mariachi style trumpet. It’s a killer group of people and I’m really excited for people to hear it.”
