Kira Vollman is a breathtaking vocalist with the voice of a fallen angel. “My patience threshold is pretty low”, she reveals. Perhaps this explains her tendency to jump from style to style and sound to sound in her vocalizations. Or does it refer to her sometimes dim view of the rest of humanity? She feels it is her duty to rip the rose-tinted glasses off the delusional and show them exactly how miserable their lives really are. Never without an absurdist’s dark sense of humor, she is an ace at role-playing. She is by turns an operatic soprano, a charming little girl, a guttural demon, a siren seductress, a transvestite monk, sometimes within a single song. Vollman also plays bass guitar, clarinets, keyboards and other assorted devices, and supplies the lyrics for Non Credo’s evocative textures.
