Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by Ambrosia Parsley's distinctive, sultry vocals, Shivaree's debut album gained significant traction, especially in Europe, fueled by the single 'Goodnight Moon'. The record masterfully blends quirky indie pop melodies with subtle downtempo rhythms and a slightly southern, rustic instrumentation.
