Shilpa Ray - Door Girl

Vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve. Girls Are Free... That's what it says on a makeshift sign on the wall above Shilpa Ray's head on her latest record, Door Girl. Sometimes in life it helps to take the signs one encounters literally. Girls are free to make mistakes. Girls are free to come and go. Girls are free of all those preconceived notions attached to what it is to be a girl. Gazing with a mixture of serenity and weary imperiousness beneath that sign is Shilpa Ray. Door Girl takes as it's titular inspiration her time working the door at Lower East Side bar Pianos, it's reputation one of hard-scrabble survival and the inspiration of desperation. Shilpa Ray has seen it all.
