““By reclaiming her story, Jones created a song that is strikingly sensible and occasionally humorous ... A natural, but well-polished soundscape.””

— American Songwriter

“Jones relates her story in plain language. With each verse, she describes a new scene, and with each scene, finds the poignance in some ordinary observation...This is Jones’ gift as a songwriter: to find the metaphor in the mundane, the drama in the everyday.”

— WBUR'S THE ARTERY

“Right off the bat, Kaiti Jones’ ‘Gettin Around to it’ ropes in listeners with upbeat folk-rock pep and gets movin’ and groovin’ with a reviving, yet honest sound ... [it] should not be labeled simply as your newest song to jam in the car to, but it should also be appreciated for the lyrical honesty the song contains ... There are many things we should be gettin’ around to, and listening to Kaiti Jones should be on top of that list.”

— The Wild Honey Pie

“Tossed captures a hundred opposing sentiments with a diary-like approach to lyricism.”

— VANYALAND

“Jones graces us with her sonically satisfying new indie-folk single “Weak Days.” Boosted by warm electric instrumentation and effortless vocal delivery, Jones has a way with undemanding lyrical and melodic playfulness with a sharp tone reminiscent of Aimee Mann and Heartless Bastards. Jones manages to keep the harmony and instrumentation first, while letting superficial BS stand to the side.”

— GLIDE MAGAZINE

“Drawing similarities to other folk artists like Julia Jacklin and Jade Bird, Jones creates a dynamic map of experience on Tossed that is open-ended yet utterly satisfying.”

— Sound of Boston

“Spine chilling, beautifully haunting.”

— GBH

Bio

Kaiti Jones writes songs to make sense of the world, as potent storytellers do. Her songs are a garden that she tends to, rooted in existential angst or failed romances that grow into retrospective anecdotes, sometimes evolving over months or even years. Kaiti's sophomore album Tossed finds Jones exploring both her insecurities and resilience. Sometimes they come in a ballad of questions on “Mystic,” where she examines transitioning from rigid evangelical christian culture to a more open spiritual mindset, or an endearing rush of pop-rock on “Gettin’ Around To It,” which serves as both an ode to procrastination and a metaphor for the anxieties of life. These nine tracks are the most sonically diverse that Jones has released since first publishing her music in 2009. They’re intimate and sown with personal details, without drawing to some grand, trite conclusion. “As I've gotten older, I feel like I have more and more questions and fewer answers, and I've just learned to be okay with that,” she says.
