Not seeing a thread on her. Came across Sinner Get Ready in my travels today and in my first pass through, I'm kinda digging it. If I can find someone to join me in October, I might go see her live. Anyway, here's the description from the Wiki:

Quote:

Kristin Hayter (born June 17, 1986), known professionally as Lingua Ignota (Latin for "unknown language"), is an American classically trained multi-instrumentalist. In 2017, she self-released the albums Let the Evil of His Own Lips Cover Him and All Bitches Die under the Lingua Ignota moniker, which spread through word-of-mouth. Lingua Ignota's music caught the attention of Profound Lore Records, who re-issued All Bitches Die and released her third studio album Caligula in 2019. She draws on her experiences as a survivor of domestic violence for musical and lyrical inspiration, and describes her music as "survivor anthems".[1] She is originally from Southern California and currently resides in Pennsylvania.

Haven't heard Sinner yet but Caligula is excellent and hits some seriously intense moments.

I've heard her live shows are awesome too, probably worth going solo if you have to.

Or getting better friends. I guess probably both. This is probably a crass comparison but she sounds like the Nick Cave I used to know and love.

I always found her first two albums to be absolutely stunning, but Caligula and Sinner Get Ready to be of varying quality and Caligula I found particularly hammy.

I find Sinner Get Ready a little masterpiece. Very impressive. Her two earlier albums are quite impressive too, but I'm a bit put off by the occasional screaming on those.
