ABOUT HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF
One of the reasons you started listening to music in the first place might have been in the hope of finding the kind of conviction and fierce rawness evident in Hurray for the Riff Raff’s, aka Alynda Segarra’s, “nature punk” manifesto about survival, LIFE ON EARTH.
A visionary musician, Segarra (they/she) is an outsider in whose voice you might find echoes of your own. On her eighth full-length album, Segarra is creating music of honesty and portent.“For me, every album is almost a film or a novel or a world I create that I want to live in. I want it to have themes and language, a cosmology or a lexicon, so the listener can live in it, because that’s what I loved about punk and the music that I was drawn to. It wasn’t just about the music, it was about joining a crew,” says Segarra.
"There’s a riotous joy to hearing Segarra save themself throughout Life On Earth, an album of synth-rock, folk balladry, and arena-worthy alt-pop. If The Navigator was about Segarra reconnecting with their roots as a Puerto Rican raised in the Bronx, their latest LP, Life on Earth, finds Segarra simply luxuriating in their newfound artistic space. It’s a record where New Age astrology pop and free-associative odes to flowers sit comfortably alongside hair-raising depictions of trauma." --Rolling StoneAll tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable at the time of purchase.
