Kris Delmhorst's stunning new album, Shotgun Singer is due out April 22nd, 2008 on Signature Sounds. With a back catalog that includes two darkly rollicking roots records produced by Morphine's Billy Conway, and the 2006 release Strange Conversation, a vibrant collection of Americana songs inspired by the work of famous poets ("a remarkable album...as seamless and brave as it is brilliantly creative" - Irish Times), Kris Delmhorst has parlayed a decade of successful cross-country and trans-Atlantic touring into one of the most distinct voices in American music. With Shotgun Singer, Delmhorst has trained that voice on a series of gracefully open lyrics and figures that transcend genre, ranging into the borderlands between indie-rock and folk; that nameless territory inhabited by such hard- to-classify artists as Laura Veirs, Feist, Iron & Wine, and Juana Molina.
