KENTON MACKAY ****** Shares 'In Good Taste' EP

Mackay's lyrics explore themes of self-destruction, isolation, and the complexities of modern society

Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Austin, KENTON MACKAY ****** has shared his debut EP, 'In Good Taste', and it's a true rock 'n' roll record.

Rousing and at times frantic, 'In Good Taste' opens up a portal to another time. Mackay's rich baritone voice gives a blues edge to the record, acting as the perfect partner to the crashing live drums and grungy guitar tones. With such stacked instrumentation, many artists would struggle to compete, but Mackay's voice remains centre stage throughout.

While sonically hair-raising, lyrically, Mackay's lyrics are introspective, diving into themes of self-destruction, isolation, and the complexities of modern society. A satirist at heart, Kenton uncovers both the humour and beauty in the mundanity of everyday life throughout 'In Good Taste'.

Raised on a ranch in the heart of Texas, Mackay namechecks Nirvana, Radiohead, and Beck as his key musical influences. His debut project spans across three decades of musical history, offering something for every rock enthusiast.

'In Good Taste' is out now.
