Win a copy of AOTW "Summer of Love"
"Summer of Love" is the fourth album from Jess Ribeiro - a captivating set of sparse folk songs and experimental rock ballads. Lyrics address isolation, loss, tiny snatches of love, expectation versus reality, societal upheaval, and the search for healing.
It was written during a time of solitude and reflection. Ribeiro spent months as the only guest at a hotel while she recorded and produced "Summer of Love" with Nick Huggins at his beach studio on Wadawurrung Country in Point Lonsdale.
The album also features instrumentation from a stellar cast of friends and collaborators: Jim White (Xylouris White, The Dirty Three) and Dave Mudie (Courtney Barnett) on drums and percussion, Darcy McNulty on saxophone, Leah Senior on keys, James Seymour on bass, and Carrie Webster on violin and viola. Huggins adds a variety of sounds from tape and drum loops, through to synth, guitars and piano.
“It was improvised and experimental, musicians could only visit one at a time… half of them never even came to the studio,” Ribeiro recalls of the process.
