Enchanting vocal tones and distinctive rhythm sections, all dancing with layered synths, stargazing soundscapes, and other-worldly electronics. IAMAQ.

For The Wretched Desert, it all started with rearranging the furniture...

In 2014 Zach and Holly Lind turned their living room into a music room, setting up drums next to the piano and hanging their daughter's guitars on the wall. Zach, fresh off the latest Jimmy Eat World tour, noticed how good the drums sounded in that room and began recording drum parts. Soon Zach was adding instruments to those parts while Holly added vocals songs emerging right there in the living room.

With Jamie Woolford (The Format, Gin Blossoms) engineering and producing and Chris Testa (Dixie Chicks, Jimmy Eat World) mixing and mastering, those songs have become Street Lights, the first EP from The Wretched Desert. While the name is a nod to their favorite Peter Gabriel album, it's also a reminder that this is honest music, flowing naturally from a home in the desert full of life, family, love, and the anticipation of what can come when you follow your joy. Or you rearrange the furniture.

We are the largest representative body of artist management in the world.

Mina sounds like: laid-back, slow-core, folky compositions; suffused in the '70s and '90s, drug-induced textures and states of darkside/vintage psychedelia. Brutally honest confessional songwriting; straight-ahead rock and roll; her knack for catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and extraordinary vocal range.

Mina has worked with industry veterans, such as producer Martyn Lenoble (Porno For Pyros, Scott Weiland, David Gahan The Cult), bassist and trumpet player, Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Craig Ross (Lenny Kravitz, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow), guitarist Gerry Leonard aka SpookyGhost (David Bowie band leader/guitarist, Susanne Vega, Duncan Sheik),  pianist Zac Rae (Fiona Apple, Miley Cyrus, Annie Lennox), mixer Greg Fidelman (Rage Against The Machine, RHCP, Marilyn Manson, Johnny Cash, LoA, Adele), producer Andy Kravitz (Joan Osborne, Cypress Hill, Imogen Heap, The Police), Producer Jared Kotler (Keith Caputo, Marcy's Playground), Producer Steve Thompson (Aretha Franklin and George Michael, Korn, Filter, Ziggy Marley etc) Producers The Butcher Bros, (Urge Overkill, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Amy Grant)

Mina/On the festival circuit/gigs:  She has shared stages with titans like Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, Björk, David Bowie, Pixies, and Foo Fighters. Caputo is unafraid to mine new musical territory, as evidenced by her two most recent releases – A Fondness for Hometown Scars and the latest, As Much Truth As One Can Bear.
