Caithlin’s Bio
“Time to write a new record!” -November 2009

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, Cait used to be lead canary with the indie rock band Rainer Maria (’95-’06). New album, November 2010, on End Up Records. Heartbreak-ability, dance-ability.

“Cannot believe that the singer/bassist for one of the best Midwest emo threesomes that we’ve ever had the opportunity to see/hear/experience is knocked up…Excellent.” -The Culture of Me
“This is a wonderfully greycast autumn album: glistening, pensive, apprehensive, tersely and evocatively detailed…it’s awfully nice to see her reach for new heights here and grab them with an understated grace.” -Lucid Culture
