Every once and a while an artist's music seeps into your DNA. At the very first listen it seems to become a part of you. Like a transfusion. The music moving my body. The lyrics filling my eyes. The inescapable honesty. Admittedly, I am late to discover Alynda's amazing songwriting. But better late than never. I have now cannonballed into the Riff Raff. Fully immersed. Bobbing and buoyant in it's beauty.
I was really fucking moved by their Pitchfork performance last month, there's such an effortless and organic vein of songwriting they channel at will it's bonkers. I was thinking earlier about why their songs seem so lived-in from first listen, and I still can't quite pin it down. It's not just excellent and gorgeous, it seems like everything they put out is so well formed it must've been around for decades.
I got see her and her band perform at The Tractor Tavern the evening of the same day this video was recorded and it was a powerful performance from start to finish. Fantastic show. Alynda Segarra is one of those musicians who doesn't just play her songs, she totally inhabits them while she performs them. Great backing band too.
Just finished a crap week. It meant so much to tune in to this surprise and feel the joy of your music. Excellent vocals, tight but subtle harmonies, interesting lyrics. Risky to go with the Casino, but it sounded good, no feedback. Thank you for sharing this gift with the world.
La voie de Marianne Faithfull, quelle belle surprise venant des USA . Elle revient aux racines du Rock en bousculant ,mélangeant, modernisant tout le socle de la musique de mes 20 ans( Bowie Pretenders Roxy music...)
Сначала подумал, что будет хуйня какая нибудь, а потом даже заслушался! Очень понравилась музыка, круто! А учитывая сколько говна я послушал пере ними...
Fun to listen to on mute. She's attractive. I can't wait until the 'lazy folk' genre finally dies. Imagine what amazing music they could produce if they hadn't stopped trying.

That smile is just so genuine and heartfelt. You don't see that from many artists. Her music is amazing!!
she's such a badass. love this band.
I totally love this girl..found her years ago and watching her evolve is like watching a friend. Her music is just so good
they/them - they're nonbinary :)
Album of the year. Seriously. Dang.

The best practice until they can't get it wrong...like, "Hurray For The Riff Raff".
Well put. :)
SO LOVE THIS.. Saga has been an ear worm for days, and the lyricism of Pierced Arrows WOW... greetings from New Zealand love your songs!
life on earth is such a beautiful record, glad to see them play live

We've got to make something with what we have. I love her way with words.
I loved that they decorated the microphone stand with plants ❤
What a lovely and honest soul
another great interview conducted by Cheryl Waters (oh yeah and the music is excellent!)
Hell yes! Found out about them through bandcamp and now here they are shining bright. Love it
Discovered her years ago here on TH-cam.
Great artist who has always stayed true to herself, on point.
Good Lord this is amazing

Just saw them last night. They were amazing! Love this interview!
Me too. First time listening to them. Only good thing that came out of that night sadly.
@@johnrufio5633 That show was so sad. I've never experienced anything like it. Poor, Conor, hope he gets the help he needs.
I just discovere this since TapeOp interviewed her in this months issue. Great to discover them.
great band. Great singer!
Beautiful
What a great drummer! Sometimes less is more. I particularly loved his simple switch to toms at 2:30
I just saw them open for Bright Eyes in San Fran and thought the drummer was amazing. Tasteful but lots of muscle.
Dan Westerlund, also of Canine Heart Sounds
Missed you too much way too much, the heavens are singing upon your return!

Yo . . . this is cool🔥🤙🏻 . . . Greetings from Colombia, folks.
Sounding amazing live! Can’t wait to see them on tour x
I like the new music, takes me back to the 80's. This isn't the bayou, folk music they started with.
N'ayant pas trop aimé le disque précédent, Palante, je retrouve une musique que j'aime merci Alynda ! Enjoy !
