Search - Kira Fontana :: The Inner Revolution

On her debut album, The Inner Revolution, songstress Kira Fontana triumphs in embracing an emotional rawness without fear, while also exploring a soul-searching mysticism that's undaunted in recognizing life s ever-changing moves. Like Sinéad O Connor and Tori Amos before her, the San Francisco Bay Area-born artist approaches such a task with unshakable power. Fontana, who composed, arranged and produced The Inner Revolution, concisely molds an emotional catharsis with a natural blend of classical tinges and alt-rock leanings. From the haunting guitar riffs and layered strings of Bloom and the acoustic soundscapes of Spark the Fire to the slow-burning cadence of the near-nine minute epic Always, Fontana brings both creative and spiritual forces together. It's with an easy spirit that The Inner Revolution defines an authentically expressive, minimalist pop-rock sound thats been simmering beneath mainstream rock s genre-blending stratum; the seven-song set is atmospheric, hypnotic and absolutely stunning. Engineer Howie Weinberg (Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse) mastered the LP, while Howard Bilerman (The Arcade Fire, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, British Sea Power) mixed the collection.
