The Ridge

by Sarah Neufeld

The Ridge cover art

The acclaimed violinist, best known for her foundational role in Arcade Fire, delivers her second solo album of sweeping, highly physical modern classical composition. Notably incorporating her own ethereal vocalizations and complex, polyrhythmic drumming from Colin Stetson, the record moves from tense, scraping dissonance to moments of soaring melodic beauty. It stands as a masterful, highly dynamic exploration of avant-garde minimalism.
