Hurray For The Riff Raff will return in 2022 with new album ‘Life On Earth’; listen to “RHODODENDRON”
Hurray for the Riff Raff‘s Alynda Segarra is calling their new album “nature punk.” Announced today and due out on Nonesuch Records in February, Life On Earth is based around themes of survival on a world in flux, according to the label.
The lead single “RHODODENDRON” is out today, and its fervent acoustic rock plays into that, as Segarra says the song is about “finding rebellion in plant life.” They elaborate by saying it’s also about:
…being called by the natural world and seeing the life that surrounds you in a way you never have. A mind expansion. A psychedelic trip. A spiritual breakthrough. Learning to adapt, and being open to the wisdom of your landscape. Being called to fix things in your own backyard, your own community.
