Lila Rose Hard-Hitting Debut Album 'Heart Machine' Available Tuesday January 10

ASTORIA, NY, January 05, 2012

Canadian-born, San Francisco based artist Lila Rose releases her first full-length album, a genre-bending tour de force titled Heart Machine, Tuesday 1/10 on the Oakland based label, RTFM Records.

Co-produced by David Earl (aka SFLogicninja), the album has been dubbed 'cinematic indie-pop' based on the merging of Earl's grandiose cinematic arrangement, and Lila's anthemic, emotionally driven lyrical content and striking vocals. From high operatic vocalizations and hooky choruses to deep, haunting harmonies, Lila's voice leads the listener on a heartful and epic journey of varying tone, texture and intensity. Immersed in sonic landscapes from full orchestras, taiko drum ensembles and big pop beats to gospel choirs, the album is an enchantingly unpredictable journey of raw, evocative songwriting and cutting edge artistry that pushes the envelope at every turn.

Lila's previous releases include two singles with GRAMMY winning producer Peter Prilesnik, and an EP titled Osmos Your Sonica in 2009. A one-time actress and world traveller, Lila's passion comes through more than just her music. A strong advocate for LGBT issues, animal rights, native rights and environmental issues, she plans to be the first artist to release an album whose artwork is on 100% tree-free kenaf paper.

Heart Machine will be available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, Bandcamp, and other online music outlets January 10th 2012. The preview single "Obsession", a teaser video, and the coming album can be found at http://www.lilarosemusic.com. The CD release party is planned for Saturday February 18th, 2012, 8pm at The New Parish, 579 18th St. in Oakland, CA.
