Red Ribbon - Red Ribbon [Compact disc]

Emma Danner’s 4th record as Red Ribbon serves as a kind of re-introduction. It’s her first release since moving from Seattle to LA, and her first made alongside legendary producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Cat Power). It's also Danner’s most unflinching record to date. Candid, brutal, and beautiful, the album channels unapologetic songwriters like Chan Marshall and PJ Harvey. 'Red Ribbon' is gutsy: a study in sex and heartache, it’s an irresistible document of liberation and vulnerability. Danner’s humor, honesty, and virtuosity make Red Ribbon a riveting listen. But more than that, the album marks an unmistakable moment in her career and personal life. A thrilling and liberating ride, Red Ribbon is Danner breaking free. It’s biting, but it’s alluring. It knocks you out and then kisses you on the mouth.
