Krista L.L. Muir

Krista L. L. Muir has been composing, recording, producing and performing her original music, locally and internationally, for over 10 years.

As “Lederhosen Lucil,” Krista released a number of independent singles and two full-length albums on her hypo records bedroom label. Her second album Tales From The Pantry ranked high on Canadian indie charts and became one of Earshot’s Top 50 albums of 2003. Immediately following its release, “Lucil” toured North America and Europe with friend and co-conspirator DJ Kid Koala. After the release of her Apricota single in 2004, she spent much of 2005 as “Lucil” on tour throughout Australia, New Zealand, Texas, and Europe.

In March 2006 Krista became a published author with the release of a full-colour art book exploring the eight eye candy filled years of Lederhosen Lucil entitled The Joy of Hosen: Lederhosen Lucil Up Close und Pictorial published by Mudscout Media. This book features her one-of-a-kind costume designs for her alter ego – reflecting her multi-disciplinary approach to music, design and performance. In April 2006 she composed and co-produced “Fruit Belt” with Eric San (Kid Koala) for Paperbag Records Compilation “See You On The Moon.”

While mastering the art of baritone ukulele strumming while on tour in Europe, Krista composed a whole new body of creative work that she began recording in Toronto with band Fembots at The Junkshop and finished mixing/producing in Montreal with Shane Watt at Haunted Hallway in 2007. Another indie release on her own label, “Leave Alight” is a playfully winsome family of pretty songs underpinned by melancholy.

In addition to licensing her music to a variety of television shows, both in Canada and internationally, Krista has composed and produced music for television and film, including an original score for the Bravo!Fact short "I Made A Girlfriend" by Sarah Galea-Davis.

Krista is currently recording a new album in Montreal, where she currently lives, to be released on Indica Records in Fall 2008. She is also busy collaborating with artists such as Olga Goreas (Besnard Lakes) Roxanne Arsenault (Donzelle), and Shane Watt (solo artist & formerly of adamtozoe, Cooper Thomson) on a variety of projects.
