Katie Dauson’s latest album, Pure Katie, is exactly what it sounds like—an unfiltered, joyfully rebellious celebration of her musical identity. It’s loud. It’s heartfelt. It refuses to be boxed in. And, perhaps most importantly, it’s a whole lot of fun.
Across 12 tracks, Dauson flips the script on what a rock album can be. There’s the hip-swaying swagger of “Won’t You,” the retro-kitsch adrenaline of “Go Penny Go,” and the aching introspection of “When Will I Wake Up.” These aren’t just songs; they’re emotional snapshots of an artist who thrives in the unexpected.
Pulling from a jukebox’s worth of inspiration—The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Fats Domino—Pure Katie doesn’t play by the rules. And that’s the point. Dauson’s music doesn’t just invite you to listen; it dares you to feel, to move, to get swept up in the moment.
This is the kind of record that’s equally at home blasting out of a vintage Mustang or playing quietly through a pair of headphones at midnight. It’s vibrant, it’s vulnerable, and most of all—it’s pure Katie.
