Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing her commanding, deeply impassioned vocal delivery, Catherine Ribeiro and her backing ensemble Alpes created a completely unique strain of hypnotic avant-folk. The music is characterized by custom-built acoustic instruments, repetitive drone structures, and fiercely poetic lyrical themes regarding environmentalism and human destruction.
