New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alcopop! Records are delighted to announce they have signed Philadelphia's KISSISSIPPI for the UK/EU physical release of their debut album Sunset Blush which is out digitally via all good service providers today.
The album will be available later this
Spring (details TBC) as a limited 12" run of pink and yellow splatter on clear vinyl and is available to preorder now from www.ilovealcopop.co.uk
Commenting on the news, label boss Jack Clothier said: "We're so delighted to have been asked to work with Kississippi on this new record. It's just glorious really, isn't it? Not to mention the fact that we could get a slab of vinyl out that's going to look scintillating! We can't wait to get the band over to the UK."
When you look up the definition of the word "perseverance" you should see a photo of Philadelphia musician Zoe Reynolds. On her band Kississippi's forthcoming debut Sunset Blush, out digitally April 6, Reynolds airs out all of her trauma and shortcomings just to subsequently knock them down later.
Her ability to effortlessly jump between "I've got this" levels of confidence and whispered confessions of her vulnerabilities makes Sunset Blush an undeniably charismatic and engaging piece of art.
Kississippi's full U.S. run alongside
Dashboard Confessional and Beach Slang is about halfway through, with just a handful of dates left including the Hollywood Palladium on April 21. Shortly after, Zoe will embark on a solo tour as direct support for Have Mercy's The Earth Pushed Back 5-year anniversary tour.

More info on KISSISSIPPI:
Since 2014, Zoe Reynolds has been making music under the Kississippi moniker, but the release of her debut full length Sunset Blush signals a significant change for the Philadelphia-based musician. Following a series of demo releases and EPs, including the 2016 standout We Have No Future, We're All Doomed, Zoe Reynolds has finally found her voice, calling the album "an honest recognition" of the music she always wanted to make.
Reynolds' hushed but courageous soprano whispers tales that immediately nestle and lodge themselves in your heart. Words for these stories came to her during the most commonplace of everyday activities; situations like washing the dishes, filling the bathtub, or sitting on the porch late at night became a place of inspiration.
Recorded to voice memo and later brought to life at The Headroom with producer Kyle Pulley, Zoe wanted the songs to be as true to her nature as possible. And that desire for intimacy and sharing even the most painful of experiences with her listeners is etched and apparent in every note.
