RYKARDA PARASOL
San Francisco based Rykarda Parasol plays "rock noir" that evokes moody atmospheres and gin-drenched romanticism. Aptly describing the sound as underhanded and white-collar criminal, the music draws comparisons to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Nico and the Velvet Underground, Black Heart Procession, and Johnny Cash. These cinematic songs tell stories of bad deeds and betrayed loves with stark simplicity.
The daughter of a Holocaust survivor and Swedish mom, Rykarda Parasol (her real name), began writing and performing after returning to her native San Francisco following some years living in both Los Angeles and Texas. Her experiences became the inspiration for poignant songs about isolation, detachment, and death. Those true accounts have a dominant space on the album “Our Hearts First Meet”, the follow-up to the well-received EP “Here She Comes". You can catch a sample of the songs at MySpace.com.
New Recordings: Rykarda is working on a new record to be released in early 2009. With a number of duets and backing vocal appearances, Rykarda will also be featured on a few other artist's albums, like the Bellmer Dolls. On September 23, '08 the Lower Class Revolt Vol 2 compilation will feature a Rykarda track. And in addition, three acoustic tracks will appear on another compilation also slated for fall release (stay tuned for more info on that).
