Dalila Kayros

Dark and sharp-edged are the sounds of Dalila Kayros. The Sardinian singer and composer is one of the most important protagonists of the experimental Italian music scene. Her avant-garde, electronic indie songs evoke memories of Björk. The trained jazz singer uses her voice in an impressive way and creates surrealistic images full of symbolism and dystopian aesthetics.

Dalila Kairos works with the electronic musician Danilo Casto. On their current concept album “Animami”, the two embark on a journey into the unconscious, through unexplored musical realms. Sometimes they build up ominous dark ambient soundscapes, then they let the experimental music flow into catchy electropop again – always exploring all facets of their compositional and vocal creativity. Dalila Kairos’ concerts allow the audience to emotionally participate in the inner life of a remarkable artist.

The list of Dalila Kayros’ solo works and collaborations is almost endless, ranging from film soundtracks to theatre works, live soundtracks accompanying David Lynch readings and her work with the avant-garde metal band SYK. Her albums generate a lot of attention in the worldwide underground scene. Dalila Kayros has performed at numerous festivals throughout Europe and has played as support for the US singer and poet Lydia Lunch and the British heavy metal band Godflesh.

The press says:

“‘Animami’ may not be the easiest album on the market, but it’s certainly one of the most intriguing.” (Rockit Magazine)

“‘Animami’ is a journey along the border of space and time. The album doesn’t behave like something that can be locked into three dimensions, if anything it creates further dimensions.” (Impatto Sonoro Webzine)
