SOVIET KITSCH was released in stores March 1st 2005 by Sire Records. It can be bought on line through iTunes and other internet retailers. My other two records were self released; "11:11" (ELEVEN ELEVEN) was made in college, and is all sold out, but available on iTunes. "SONGS" is available on www.cdbaby.com/spektor2. You can check it all out for free on a player on my website, though... sometimes it's fun to just listen... please visit the website. the album SOVIET KITSCH is in stores now... yipee!

Thanks for writing "Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories". It’s the best album ever it has so much to it I have listened to it heaps of times and still find new things in it. It is the most profound album I own. I’m in awe. Ta Mike
HI regina, i am 13 years old and i live in new orleans, i love your music and i think that you are tottaly awsome, i sing and hope to hit broadway when i am older! when ever i hear your music, you make me want to sing along, thanks for the inspiration! -Abby
Regina, come to Sweden again soon? Seriously we love you so much here! Had the best moment in my life at the Way Out West-festival in August 07. Please come back. Working on any new songs by the way?
I'm so, so sorry to hear that you've not been feeling well recently and I hope dearly that you're doing better. You're music is deep and inspirational in a way that seems impossible.
I absolutally love your music. Definately my favorite artist. I just wish the album Songs would make its way on iTunes. It's the only way I'm allowed to buy music. =[
Thank you (and the fine people at itunes) for the free song (My Dear Acquaintance) it is beautiful. Hope that you get to feeling better. Happy late new year to you. -Joe
Regina! Happy New Year sweets! Glad to hear youre feeling better than before and coping with your virus as best as possible. Love the cover song. You are most lovely. Love from Wilmington, NC. <3.meg
Hi =) I discovered your music on The Subways' myspace, and since this day i'm keen on its ! Your voice is wonderfull, and your words are truthful. I hope you will continue to extend your succes in France, where I'm from. Excuse my average english ^^ xxx
Arghhhhh at ear infections and feeling shitty in general! I am sorry to hear your unwell and hope that you get better soon. I am currently sitting with an ear infection, chest infection and general 'I am run-into-the-ground' infection in my bed tapping away on my lappy. It is 11.54am... so I better get my butt into gear if I am to see any of this day. Do you feel like there is never time to be sick... like it never is good... but like you don't have time to allow yourself to just be sick? Always so much to do.
Take care, get rest (in a mother's tone, of course... hehe) and come back brighter than ever...the world needs your beautiful voice and quick, jumping fingers... Kaz :)
I am pretty sure i live for your music please please please come to winnipeg! but play somewhere that allows people under 18! I would love to see you live because i hear you are amazing:)
Happy Hannukah! I am so sorry you have to be ill during it, but at least you get a chance to see your family instead of being out on the road in god-knows-where. Get well soon! I'll see you in Richmond when you feel better, don't rush yourself though!
