The Ideal Hunter

About Me


...[Kira Lynn Cain's is]the music of dreams, soundtracks to her secret imagined movies. Images of sparse western landscapes, hallucinatory romantic fantasylands, understated violence and suspense, existentialism, mystery, and strange and secret desires... all sway through lullaby-like surrealist torch music. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- "Look, I'm not going to say ethereal enchantress Kira Lynn Cain creates music ideal for David Lynch films, but put it this way: if I were to make a movie featuring a severed ear, a hopped-up Dennis Hopper, and velvet of a certain hue, I'd probably want to keep her number on speed dial, if you follow me. Cain's after-hours torch songs float slow-drifting bubbles up to the rafters with elegantly crafted tales of yearning, but there's something about the brooding sounds of her guitar that suggests once those bubbles go pop, all hell's gonna rain down. One listen to "White as a Dove" --a Portuguese fado for the Twin Peaks set --and you'll be transfixed." -Todd LaVoie, San Francisco Bay GuardianKira Lynn also appears on World Without End and the Gunplay EP both by Bob Frank and John Murry and produced by Tim Mooney, as well as Jeffrey Luck Lucas' forthcoming album, Lion's Jaw, produced by Desmond SheaFOR PRESS INQUIRIES: Contact Robert Vickers at Proxy at [email protected]
