Rising from the New York City underground, the music of Shadows Lie is a dark, intense blend of heavy guitars reminiscent of Staind, Portishead-like electronics, Days of the New type acoustic guitars and vocal stylings ranging from Tori Amos to Incubus. The songwriting is distinctive and intensely emotional, yet concise and mature at the same time.
Singer/songwriter Kira Leigh and producer/songwriter CT have been described as "Talented songwriters who fuse guitar rock with electronica" by Bob Leone, Director of the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and were selected to perform in the SHOF Showcase in 2005. They also have worked with Multi-platinum Producer/Engineer, Bill Klatt (Days of The New, Garbage, Jay-Z) who said about Shadows Lie, "This is one of the most talented and promising new rock acts to come out of New York City in years. They are a truly talented songwriting duo with a unique sound that is all their own."
Their 2007 debut LP entitled "Echoes" is entirely written, recorded, produced and performed by Kira and CT. The fusion of Kira's lyrics and vocal melodies and CT's guitar, bass, programming and production work form the basis of a fresh sound that uniquely melds sonic strength and emotional vulnerability. Kira and CT site among their diverse influences, Tori Amos, Tool, Incubus, Alice In Chains, Bjork and The Crystal Method. The often times aggressive yet hauntingly beautiful music that results, invokes comparisons to fellow female-fronted rock bands, Evanescence and Lacuna Coil.
For their live show and for the music to come, Kira and CT are joined by Frank Grullon on guitars and Marco Britti on Drums.

“Simply beautiful and amazing&5 stars. I have heard only a few tracks, but what I have heard completely hit my ears with the greatest music from an independent artist ever. The few minor flaws are quite easily outweighed by the greatness of the group. In short, buy this album. Shadows Lie? On my top ten list.”

“Holy pissed off girl! YES! Guitar tone is great. I love these vocals! No offense to Evanescence, but therre’s no raw quality in that music like this. This song is heavy. Backing vocs are really tight, the whispering is hot. Super production. Your engineer knew what to do. That acoustic in the background really adds a lot. You sold me on this one, amazing job.”
