King Woman is a San Francisco-based artist combining elements of shoegaze, doom, and dream pop. The project is the creation of singer and guitarist Kristina Esfandiari. Her sound, dreamily cacophonous and deeply emotive, has drawn comparisons to Slowdive, Deafheaven, and Chelsea Wolfe. Her stunning debut album, 'Created in the Image of Suffering', was released on Relapse Records in 2017. The record introduced a sound that was both ethereal and monstrous, featuring arrangements of her intense multi-layered guitars and lush harmonies. King Woman has since toured all over the world in support of her debut album, and has released two more albums- 'Doubt' in 2019 and a stripped-down acoustic EP in 2020 called 'Yü'.
