UnknownComponent

Unknown Component is the musical project of Keith Lynch. The project began in 2002, and originated in Iowa City, Iowa. To date, the project consists of 8 self-released independent albums. All of which were written, recorded, produced and promoted by Lynch. Lynch is a self-taught musician and plays all the instruments himself, including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric bass, piano and drums. He is also responsible for recording, mixing and mastering all of the Unknown Component albums, as well as releasing and promoting them independently. He performs live as a singer/songwriter playing his own compositions on an acoustic guitar.

The Iowa native band Unknown Component is a prime example of an indie artist surviving by self-promotion. What makes Unknown Component even more impressive is that the band has only one member: Keith Lynch. Not only does Lynch play all the instruments and record the vocals for each album, he also writes all the lyrics and music, as well as creates the album’s artwork. “In Direct Communication” is Unknown Component’s seventh and latest release.       -  Karen Impola   IPR ‘Live From Studio One’
