A tragic life story woven into a captivating song: "The Nine Days' Queen" by no:carrier tells the story of Lady Jane Grey who was born into tumultuous, dark times, became the Queen of England for nine days before being dethroned by the real successor of King Edward VI. After several legal struggles Lady Jane Grey was beheaded on February 12, 1554.
"We're really excited as this is a special song with an unusual, historical topic - and yet it's also about being strong, going your way although the direction might have been enforced on you," says Chris Wirsig, songwriter of the duo about the song.

Musically no:carrier's trademark dark Electro Noire Pop (already compared to the likes of Kirlian Camera and Dead Can Dance, and as "Portishead meets Depeche Mode") mingles with medieval instruments and a small orchestra to form a captivating blend of electronic sounds, beats and instruments, with Cynthia's great voice above all.
