Jess Ribeiro - Love Hate

Jess Ribeiro is a shape-shifting musical enigma. The near-untouchable quality of her recorded output is astonishingly consistent and the wait for new music is always worthwhile. Ribeiro's 2012 debut album My Little River was an award-winning folk-country masterpiece while her second album (2015's Kill It Yourself) was a slow-burning indie-noire masterpiece which left reviewers scrambling for superlatives. Now, with new album LOVE HATE, Ribeiro has kissed the swampy humidity of the Australian Music Prize-nominated Kill It Yourself goodbye, and embraced the precise down-strokes and valve-amp hum of a very New York lineage, from the Velvets through to Blondie and Talking Heads. Produced by Ben Edwards (Aldous Harding/Marlon Williams), it's capped by those lethally cool vocals for which Ribeiro is revered.On LOVE HATE Ribeiro traverses the landscapes of love: it's amorous peaks, it's rough rivers, and it's dark valleys. Much like a concept album - Ribeiro ponders the metamorphisis of the many stages of love -attraction, passion, infatuation, adulation, longing, submissiveness, and madness.1. Stranger2. Chair Stare3.
