The comparison works: her salacious and nuanced music derives at least part of its imagery from the power of noir (among the "top friends" on her MySpace page are Surrealist kingpin Andre Breton and the uncompromising filmmakers Alejandro Jodorowsky and Luis Buñuel). Cain gets called a chanteuse an awful lot, but it would be more accurate to call her a postmodern torch singer. Her lyrics are far smarter, her arrangements strangely sexier than most anything to have emerged from the lounge or chamber-pop genres." http://www.emusic.com/features/spotlight/2008_06-wa-kira-lynn-cain.html ****************************************************************** >June 2008< The Ideal Hunter is reviewed in SPIN magazine by Rob O'Connor http://www.spin.com/reviews/kira-lynn-cain-ideal-hunter-evangeline ****************************************************************** >August 29, 2007< San Francisco Bay Guardian includes Kira Lynn Cain in the annual yearbook-style issue highlighting emerging local music.
