Ainara LeGardon "Each Day A Lie"
Winslow Lab

Ainara LeGardon has offered up her soul in the form of an exceptionally haunting, ambient sound on "Each Day A Lie". You can hear the distorted blues bleeding through and feel the sting of lyrics like, "You're as dead as the one who can't be further away" as the disc plays on. Carrying out the deepest pain in every song and note, it's refreshing to hear the spirit being relieved of its demons and a heart running free. Ainara has already made a name for herself as an accomplished musician, and now has released one of the most amazingly introspective discs I have ever heard.
