KIRA FONTANA BAND From seemingly limitless influences (from Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt to Björk, Sigur Rós and Balinese Gamelan), Kira Fontana's music defines an authentically expressive, minimalist rock sound that's been simmering beneath mainstream music's genre-blending stratum; powerfully haunting, it is at once immediate and timeless. With its extraordinary success at fusing the depth of classical music, the shimmering textures of minimalism and the emotional drive of rock, Kira's music is cultivating a loyal listener base in the U.S., Australia and Europe. As one fan put it, “A beautiful and breathtaking fusion of styles... the pure emotion that takes you over while listening is an unforgettable experience.” Kira Fontana released The Inner Revolution, her stunning debut collection of 7 songs mixed by Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire, Godspeed You Black Emperor), in late 2007. <— click names on left for band member bios |
