LIFE ON EARTH, Hurray for the Riff Raff’s Nonesuch debut album, was released last year. Its eleven new "nature punk" tracks on the theme of survival are music for a world in flux—songs about thriving, not just surviving, while disaster is happening. The album was recorded during the pandemic with producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby). While making it, Segarra drew inspiration from the Clash, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Bad Bunny, and the author of Emergent Strategy, adrienne maree brown. "A major step forward for one of today's most vital artists," exclaims Uncut. "The first great album of 2022." Nonesuch Store LP and CD orders include a limited-edition print autographed by Segarra, while they last.
Hurray for the Riff Raff performs at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in May then heads out on a West Coast tour as special guest of First Aid Kit. You can find all the details below and at nonesuch.com/on-tour.
