Black Flag’s Kira Roessler Shares “How Could You” From Upcoming “Enigma” Solo Album

Pioneering musician Kira Roessler (Black Flag) will release her second solo album, Enigma, on July 10th via Org Music and the lead album’s lead single, How Could You, is now available through streaming platforms. 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. 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. The album was co-produced with her brother, Paul Roessler (Screamers / 45 Grave), 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.

“Enigma is the continuation of the narration of my life through song, honest, if over-dramatized statements about what is in those moments. Leaning into the raw feeling of it all. I feel very lucky to be able to share some new music with those who listen. Since I rarely find myself in conflict with anyone, there it was, how could you hurt me, even if I was wrong, treated as a jazzy mantra, because that’s what came out.” (Kira Roessler)
