Embracism

Kirin J Callinan has his own theory that the three great Australian bands, the Mt. Rushmore of Oz if you will, all have a criminal aspect to them: AC/DC = gang of outcasts raising hell; INXS = sexual deviancy, lasciviousness; and Nick Cave = murderous poet. Kirin has elements of all three, and in time, he will be the fourth face on that rock. A guitarist, singer, songwriter and solo performer born in Australia, Callinan is a child of the 1980s. He is known for his confrontational live performances, haunting compositions and wild guitar playing. He is a performer by nature, very charismatic, and very unafraid to bare his soul. A well kept secret within Australia's underground and a personal favourite to his contemporaries the world over, Kirin releases his debut solo album, 'Embracism', via Siberia Records / Terrible Records in partnership with XL Recordings. The album was produced by Kim Moyes (The Presets) at his home studio in Sydney and mixed by Chris Taylor (CANT, Grizzly Bear).
