Inca Ore
Inca Ore is the solo project of the musician Eva Saelens, who came up in the Portland, Oregon underground in the early 2000s before moving to Oakland, California. She performs alone at a keyboard, singing into a pedal-treated microphone, and her records mix sung and spoken poetry with keyboards and tape hiss. Saelens worked closely with Yellow Swans, travelling as a roadie on their first US tours and singing on their album Psychic Secession, and her first cassette and CD-Rs came out on their Jyrk label. She also appeared on records by Jackie-O Motherfucker and Gang Wizard.
