Current Album: BORN AGAINST
LP / CD / digital (Liars Club)
“His debut was a starkly beautiful tapestry on which genres were seemingly picked from a tombola and emotions torn from the depths. He remains angular and brilliant here, whether on the haunted-house funk of ‘Murder At The Bingo
Hall’ or the jarring ‘Quiet As A Rat’ CLASSIC ROCK
“Darkly romantic, hauntingly melodic and flecked with effective experimental
embellishments, it stakes an early birthright for the year’s best-of lists, reinforcing the adage that the devil truly does have all the best tunes”
FOLK RADIO UK
“A highly accomplished and skilfully arranged collection”
SHINDIG!
“Rarely does an album contain so much soul, emotion and mastery of the art
of storytelling, conveyed through such warmth, passion and sincerity, but this one has it in spades” LOUDER THAN WAR
“Innermost thoughts spill out of extremely powerful, compelling and
challenging songs” BLUE MATTERS
includes the singles: QUIET AS A RAT

Renowned for his macabre storytelling, ‘Born Against’ sees Kiranos expand his repertoire with romantic, philosophical and emotional narratives without sacrificing
the genre-bending style that had already garnered him reams of praise and a passionate following. Harnessing some of the world music he grew up on, with additional inspiration from master storytellers such as Tom Waits and Leonard
Cohen and contemporaries like Fiona Apple and Father John Misty, his latest songs are vivid, cinematic tales of flawed protagonists on the edge, desperately clinging to
some sense of stability while following their heart’s chosen path.
Assisted by producer Beau Bedford (The Texas Gentlemen) at the Modern Electric Sound Recorders studio in Dallas, 'Born Against' is full of beautifully haunting
melodies surrounded by avant-garde soundscapes built with crashes, clashes, stomps, clicks and clangs, resulting in songs that have satisfied existing fans and
attracted new listeners. The album is the follow up to 'Everything Is Fine’, the 2018 debut by ATD/Kiranos, which crossed musical boundaries by connecting with fans of rock, folk, Americana, country, metal and beyond. It contained the likes of ‘Hungover
In Jonestown’, ‘If I’m Crazy’ and the classic ‘Cocaine And Abel’, which showed Kiranos to be an unflinching raconteur and emotive singer whose material has
resonated with a devoted and growing fanbase worldwide. COCAINE AND ABEL (video) youtu.be/ZzjtLm0G49E
