Pioneering musician **Kira Roessler **(**Black Flag, dos**) will release her second
solo album _**Enigma**_ on **July 10 **via **Org Music.** The album marks a continuation
of the minimalist, bass-driven approach introduced on her 2021 debut, expanding 
her distinctive voice with greater depth and nuance. The lead single, **“How Could
You,”** arrives May 6 alongside album preorders.

Across _Enigma_, Roessler builds stark, spacious arrangements anchored by her melodic
bass playing and understated vocal delivery. The result is a focused and intimate
collection that emphasizes tone, restraint, and emotional clarity.

“_Enigma is the continuation of the narration of my life through song — honest, 
if over-dramatized statements about what is in those moments,_” says Roessler. “
_Leaning into the raw feeling of it all. I feel very lucky to be able to share some
new music with those who listen._”

The album was co-produced with her brother, **Paul Roessler** (Screamers), and features
contributions from** Petra Haden**, whose backing vocals add subtle texture to the
record’s stripped-down framework. While maintaining a minimalist core, _Enigma_ 
introduces expanded tonal elements and a broader dynamic range.

Lead single “How Could You” offers an early look at the album’s direction, incorporating
a looser, jazz-influenced feel while remaining grounded in Roessler’s signature 
sense of space and control.

“_Since I rarely find myself in conflict with anyone, there it was — how could you
hurt me, even if I was wrong,_” she explains. “_Treated as a jazzy mantra, because
that’s what came out._”

Best known for her work in Black Flag, where her melodic, unconventional bass playing
helped redefine the band’s sound during its later, more exploratory years, and for
her long-running collaboration in dos, Roessler has also built an accomplished career
in film and television, with credits including _Mad Max: Fury Road_, _Game of Thrones_,
and _Project Hail Mary_.

Decades into her career, Roessler continues to evolve her approach without revisiting
past formulas. _Enigma_ reflects that progression — a measured, deliberate work 
that prioritizes mood, space, and subtlety over immediacy.

_Enigma_ will be available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats on July 10 via Org 
Music. All formats will be available for preorder beginning May 6.
