Pale Hoarse (Kyle Ranson & Kim Pierce)
http://www.myspace.com/palehoarse
Pale Hoarse is the musical project of San Francisco artist Kyle Ranson and friend Kim Pierce. The two create tortured harmonies and hauntingly beautiful melodies reminiscent of the late D.C. band Ida.
"The lyrics tend toward darkness, Christian corruption, bitter childhoods and love gone wrong—but always there is redemption. Imagined the shipwrecked lovechild of Karen Dalton and Nick Cave singing up from a watery grave, or Jesus and Mary hanging out at night, harmonizing under bright stars in the desert. Like any good ministry, Pale Hoarse has built a devoted following that is expanding gracefully, gleefully, with each show they play. This is music for lovers, for sinners, for makers and seers. It’s tortured and tainted, it’s gorgeous and glorious." ~ Kate Schatz
San Francesca (Harrison Russell & Star Quach)
http://sanfrancescamusic.com
"San Francesca (formerly Le Verita) is obviously influenced by the likes of post-punk bands like Joy Division, which it mixes together with elements of offbeat '80s synth-pop and straight guitar rock. What results though is definitely not dance music, nor do the drum machines and keyboards get treated as novelty. The music is serious, dark and carefully textured, with an understated intensity that builds gradually and slowly creeps underneath your skin. - Aaron Carnes, METRO
Christine Shields
http://www.myspace.com/christinephrisgneshields
"Shields is perhaps best known for her portraits of musicians, short-lived comic book Blue Hole and dark and humorous, Addams-meets-Gorey illustration work for countless small-press publications and zines. Her music, like her images, is dreamy, dark, melodic, harmonious, and high-lonesome. (That old-time influence has its hooks in her good.) If you want to make her day, compare her to Opal. You wouldnt be far off the mark." ~ Awesome Vistas.
