In a few words:
Rykarda Parasol is an American artist who composes some very beautiful folk/rock songs. "Our Hearts First Meet" is her debut album, which was released at 2006. All the songs have a dark atmosphere, while her music is very difficult to be fallen into a specific genre. So, in order to describe her music I would like to refer some similar artists: Nick Cave, Madrugada, Johnny Cash, Velvet Underground and P.J. Harvey could be some of her influences. Her voice is quite good, with a lot of feeling. Most of the lyrics are taken from her personal life. Acoustic guitars and piano are the instruments that are mostly used in her songs, creating emotional melodies that go directly to the listener's heart. Recommended!


Personal highlights:
"Lullaby For Blacktail", "Candy Gold" and "Weeding"
