Lera Lynn is a singer/songwriter whose thoughtful songwriting, poetic lyricism, cinematic soundscapes, and haunting vocals blend Americana, indie rock, folk noir, and art pop. She’s released multiple studio albums and composed numerous pieces for film, TV, and video games, including writing and performing four songs for Season 2 of True Detective, for which she gained widespread recognition. She’s also a producer, known for her meticulous production through her record label, Ruby Range Records. Her latest album, “Comic Book Cowboy” came out just last month and is receiving high praise, with one review noting, the album “sounds like nothing else in this world, in the best sense of the word, and inspires with a multitude of daring/ingenious musical ideas.” You can stream “Comic Book Cowboy” wherever you get your music or, even better, head to leralynn.com to get a vinyl or CD copy!
