Kira And The Kindred Spirits

New Album! "Kira Skov is the kind of rock diva that comes around once, maybe twice in a generation and she held the stage, as if trying to transform the underground space into a packed stadium by force of will. in spite of being pressed by an instrument-heavy mix, this cat-like singers tremulous, soulful alto, seemed always to be moving in on its prey, and demanding it be a worthy capture." Globe and Mail, Canadian music week, March 4th, 2006.   Kira And The Kindred Spirits: * * * * * (5/6)

- MetroXpress (nationwide newspaper)   This Is Not An Exit: Gaffa: *****, BT: *****, Woman:***** Jyllandsposten:**** Berlingske tidende:****   Happiness Saves Lives: Gaffa:****, Jyllandsposten:*****, Gyllendal:******   "Live the music proved to be of a different intense and sensual nature. Carried out by a singer who is remarkably at one with her material. With enormous shifts between the possessed, the sincere and the physically explosive, Kira Skov is, with her great vocal repertoire, a natural talent of the rarest kind. It is very hard not to be impressed with the young Danish gypsy. Kira Skov, with her limber body and vocal-cords will reach great heights, if she can keep the intensity". Politikens review of the concert at Rust, Copenhagen.   "Kira and the kindred Spirits are a such an overwhelming experience in the lands of torn up blues and salty rock'n'roll, for all open wounds and naked vulnerability, that you wish to protect the band and yourself from all thinkable wrongs. You also wish to proclaim, that it must be insanity to place a band that would make The White Stripes pale and The Kills see a shrink on such an insignificant stage. "Erik Jensen, Politikens review of a concert at Midtfyns festival, summer 2003.
