At the end of her tour for Legs to Make Us Longer in 2005, King departed from her previous musical direction out of a desire to escape being pigeonholed as a solo instrumental artist. She amicably parted ways with major label Sony/Epic and returned to her original label, Velour, to begin work on her third album …Until We Felt Red. Released August 8, 2006, on Velour Records, the album features production work by Tortoise’s John McEntire. With the prominence of electric guitar shoegazing and effect boxes on the new record, and the addition of a full band, the music website, The A.V. Club, called the sound a “post-rock makeover.” She supported the album by going on tour with Sarah Bettens from K’s Choice. In early 2007, Dave Grohl invited King to appear as a guitarist on the track “Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners”, a song penned by Grohl for an upcoming studio album by the Foo Fighters. King agreed and is credited on the album, entitled Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, released on September 25, 2007.

After signing with Velour Records in 2002, King began recording her debut album, Everybody Loves You. She incorporated fingerstyle “fanning,” with both flamenco style percussion and fret tapping techniques, as well as using double open tunings, viola tunings, and traditional Russian guitar (7 strings). On April 22, 2003, Everybody Loves You was released to positive reviews and feedback on King’s skills as a guitarist in relation to her age. While her later work involves more of a band format, Everybody Loves You is King’s only fully acoustic guitar album, with the exception of light singing on the hidden bonus track, “The Government.” To support the album, King embarked on her first major promotional tour in North America.
As with her previous album, 2008’s Dreaming of Revenge, Junior was produced by Malcolm Burn and recorded at his studio in Kingston, New York. But in contrast to that record, which was marked by deep textures and layers as well as unusual instrumentation, Junior was specifically made with only three musicians in mind – in this case King, multi-instrumentalist Dan Brantigan and drummer Jordan Perlson. The result was something more direct. “Prior to this I would have written a lot in the studio and played all the instruments myself,” King says. “This time, I really leaned on Dan and Jordan to help shape the songs and help me get the record written.”
