CAITHLIN DE MARRAIS Caithlin
De Marrais is a torch singer
for a novel kind of heartache. She
channels Emily Dickinson, telling truth at a slant. It’s
no surprise, De Marrais has twelve full
length and EP length recordings under her belt as lead singer and
bassist with
indie rock band Rainer Maria (’95-’06).
Leaving Rainer Maria was
just the beginning of a sea change for De
Marrais. Over the
next three years she got married to
photographer, Spencer Heyfron, had a son, started an artist run record
label
with three other musicians and released a solo record. “My Magic City”, was
recorded in the style of
Van Morrison’s “Astral Weeks” in a Brooklyn church and a cottage in
upstate New
York. Her former RM
band mate, Kyle
Fischer, produced.
In 2009 De Marrais released
a split live record with fellow End Up
Records
label mate, Seb Leon.
