SynthWest
SynthWest's inaugural event rolls into Exeter on October 25th
On the bill are 3 of the UK's finest contemporary electronic acts, all of whom happen to be based in the West Country.
KirA, hailing from Taunton, are an electronic/synth based duo creating beautifully moody electronica ranging from ambient to dance. Fronted by Kira with her soft, yet seductively alluring vocal style, the act is backed by emotive string arrangements and rich analogue tones. KirA draws on its musical influences... from the likes of Japan and David Bowie to Massive Attack and the Boards of Canada. They marry this range of styles with old and new production techniques to create their unique soundscape.
you can check out KirA's haunting song 'Pure Delight' here -
