Artist description Torrez’s debut album, Wild Horse, runs like a dark western. A brooding audioscape with lyrics whispered between the ghost of guitars and sparse layering of drums. One can almost hear the sounds of slow-motion projectors. It smolders with anticipation before catching fire. Live, TORREZ inject the songs with smoldering intensity. The reverb-drenched guitars and pulsating rhythm section propel these would-be dirges into the stratosphere.

Music Style Dark and spooky, slow and sparse...reverb!

Musical Influences Pharmaceuticals, pot, Leonard Cohen, Barbara Manning, Che Guevara, Cat Power, Guided by Voices, Palace and too many others to name.

Similar Artists Take Freakwater, slow it down; mix in the reverb and general melancholy of Mazzy Star; the torment of Cat Power; and a few too many listens to some Friends of Dean Martinez records.

Artist History Hailing from Portsmouth, NH, TORREZ is now playing regularly in the greater Boston area. Singer Kimberlee Torres and guitarist Sidney Alexis Lindner formed TORREZ almost a year ago after repeated efforts to find other treatment failed.

Group Members Kim (Words/Guitars/Ebow) Sidney (Guitars/Lap Steel/Ebow/Etc) Colin (Bass) Mike (Percussion)

Albums Wild Horse

Press Reviews "Dark and langorous, sweet and shimmering country. Super sparse arrangements, delicate lap steel, gorgeous vocals and an amazing super spacious recording make this a sweet surprise. Think Mazzy Star, Souled American, Giant Sand, Low, but recorded late at night,in the desert, when no one's listening. So nice." -Aquarius Records, SF (http://www.aquariusrecordssf.com/)
