....The characteristically smoky voice and dark delivery of Rykarda Parasol conjures cinematic descriptions of bad deeds and betrayed love. Not unlike a female Nick Cave or Greg Dulli, Parasol is a dweller of dark prose and imagery that reminds us of William Faulkner, David Lynch, or Ingmar Bergman.......... ....LATEST ALBUM AVAILABLE NOW: "For Blood and Wine" ..the self-produced and released new album by Rykarda Parasol -- is available on Amazon.com, iTunes, and at www.RykardaParasol.com.. San Francisco based Rykarda Parasol ..(..reh-kaer-dah..) plays "rock noir" that evokes moody atmospheres and gin-drenched romanticism. ..Describes 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.
