With her four-octave vocal range, bellicose rapport with the keyboard, and high-drama makeup and costuming, Kristeen Young could share DNA with Diamanda Galás. Here, Young gigs behind her latest, The Knife Shift, which features complex rhythms, lush loops and layers of that inimitable voice, with an unexpectedly tender sense of drama. Raunchy rap trio Hand Job Academy opens.
