It's an album about love, lust, dreams, and death - the anticipated new CD from popular Northwest singer L.Rain! Meet Tangled, L.Rain's new eight-song CD with everything from evocative, sensual ballads, to irresistible, radio-friendly alternative songs perfect for dancing, driving, or dreaming.

With Tangled, L.Rain exhibits an even deeper musicality and a mature new sound, unveiling a new array of songs and roles all tied in theme to the haunting alt-pop title track "Tangled." It's a midsummer night's dream of an album, with each song adding a new voice, and new layer, to the mix. From the lovely blues-tinged "Beautiful," to the rocking blast of "Define You," L.Rain's unforgettable voice - from its distinctive rock-alto belt, to its surprising lyrical sweetness on the ballads, has never sounded better.

Tangled offers something for every discerning music lover - a diverse tapestry of sounds, styles (folk, alt-pop, alt-country and rock), and characters, each with a distinct voice and confession. These include a goddess dreaming of a break in "Lo-Fi Delphi," a woman caught in the literal entanglements of life and death in the title track, and a battered wife wondering (in a lovely yet tragic metaphor) what made her eyes "Black and Blue," among many others. Listeners will fall into Tangled, into rich melodies, intelligent lyrics and driving beats - a new sound that's energized, sensual, and a must for constant CD replay.

From L.Rain as writer and performer, to a top-notch co-producer (Wayne Bliss) and backing band, Tangled also shares the spotlight - offering a musical riff and memorable solo moment for all of the musicians involved. The album was produced by L.Rain and Wayne Bliss, with L.Rain on vocals and guitars, with Frank Seeberger on electric lead guitar, Alan Cooper on Bass, Electric Guitar, and percussion, and Chris Crumpler on drums and percussion.

Continuing her reputation for accomplished, heartfelt and passionate performances, L.Rain is known for her debut solo release Out of Chaos Comes... in 1997, her acclaimed release Rust (as the lead singer of popular alt-rock band Iris), and as one of the Northwest's most popular performers, often achieving standing ovations at venues like The Ballard Firehouse, Madison's, the Colourbox, and many others. The Incredibly Small Concert Hall, singled her out as the artist with the Best Alternative Website, and her single "Widow's Peak" (From Out of Chaos Comes...) was the featured track on the Best of Seattle Bands, Volume 2. She is currently playing throughout the Pacific Northwest, both as a solo artist and with a full band featuring percussion, keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals.
