Graham Lambkin
Graham Lambkin once was part of the legendary band The Shadow Ring and and runs the Kye label. As a visual artist, poet and musician he released incredible impressive solo records and publications on which he expresses himself as a neo-romantic soul. His work is a representation of contemporary dadaism, and shows the beauty of banal nakedness - or the poetry of everyday life.
Lambkin first entered the public consciousness at 19 when he formed his band The Shadow Ring, in Folkestone, a small town in Kent, England. The band was memorable and built an rabidly passionate fan base because of its sui generis approach, blending elements of folk, noise, cracked electronics, and surrealist poetry, while radically changing the overall formula with each release. A decade of increasingly skewed and inspired work culminated in 2003's I'm Some Songs, constructed long distance as Lambkin had relocated to the US in 1998. Over the last few years, Lambkin has primarily worked under his own name, most notably with 2007's brilliant Salmon Run, a precursor to The Breadwinner.
