Synopsis

Product Description

A musical memoir of survival art in the line of Christina Crawford's expose 'Mommie Dearest' and Tobias Wolff's 'This Boy's Life'. Lila Sakura is a multi-media recording artist from Upstate, New York. She brings to life the words she wrote over a decade ago, when she was a teenager, being tormented by a violent paranoid schizophrenic mother from Tokyo, Japan. The child abuse and Lila's depressing descent into debilitating anxiety are graphically re-enacted via spoken word set to electronic music. Running Time approximately 25 minutes.

CD Reviews

Sharp and honest with a sense of foreboding

The Realside | 05/04/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Lila emerges as a truth teller, telling a descriptive narrative in the riddle of song. Her electronic embellishments heighten the tension around the unfolding recollections of atrocities suffered during her youth, drawing the listener in empathetically through clever word painting with her music. It's a distinctive pleasure to listen to, although harrowing personally when you're as close to the material as I am."
