ANI DIFRANCO unleashed "BINARY", 6/9/2017 via RIGHTEOUS BABE RECORDS.
FROM RIGHTEOUS BABE RECORDS:
The transcendent new album from
Ani Di Franco, 'Revolutionary Love' (out January 29, 2021) marks the
latest proof of one of her most powerful gifts as an artist: a rare
ability to give voice to our deepest frustrations and tensions, on both a
personal and political level. Produced by Di Franco and recorded mainly
in two whirlwind days at Overdub Lane in Durham, 'Revolutionary Love'
more than justifies the mad dash behind its making. 'Revolutionary Love'
arrives as an instantly transportive selection of songs. Rooted in her
poetic lyricism and ever-commanding vocal work, the album unfolds in an
understated yet captivating alchemy of folk and soul and lushly textured
jazz-pop.
Produced by Ani DiFranco and recorded mainly in two whirlwind days at Overdub Lane in Durham, Revolutionary Love more than justifies the mad dash behind its making. As her first studio effort since the release of No Walls and the Recurring Dream (Di Franco’s widely praised 2019 memoir), Revolutionary Love arrives as an instantly transportive selection of songs. Rooted in her poetic lyricism and ever-commanding vocal work, the album unfolds in an understated yet captivating alchemy of folk and soul and lushly textured jazz-pop. In sculpting that sound, Di Franco and Brad Cook assembled an eclectic lineup of musicians, including percussionist Brevan Hampden (Hiss Golden Messenger, Milton Suggs), horn/flute player Matt Douglas (The Mountain Goats, Josh Ritter), keyboardist Phil Cook (Megafaun, Shouting Matches), drummer Yan Westerlund (Quetico, Mipso) and Di Franco’s longtime touring band Terence Higgins on percussion and Todd Sickafoose on bass.
