Five Favourites: Jess Ribeiro

Having shared stages with the likes of Angel Olsen and Nick Cave, Australian artist Jess Ribeiro is now set to release her new album, Summer Of Love, next month. Written during a time of instability and reflecting on themes of isolation and loss, the emotion rich splendour of her vocals shine throughout, offering a glimmer of hope during uncertain times. As her poignant lyricism ripples alongside a glistening yet gritty musicality, the album showcases Ribero’s ability to create stirring heartfelt anthems with a captivating grace.

We think one of the best ways to get to know an artist is by asking what music inspires them. So, to celebrate the upcoming release of the new album, I caught up with Jess to find out about the music that inspires her the most. Read about her five favourite albums and watch the video for recent single ‘Everything Is Now‘ below!

George Rrurrambu and Birdwave – Baru
I first heard this record in the Northern Territory when I lived in Darwin, and spent lot of time touring remote and outback locations. My bass player at the time started this group with his brother as well as with the legend George Rrurrambu, a famous Indigenous musician who performed in the Warmupi Band in the ’70s/’80s. George was known for his rock music, singing in Yolngu Mate (his mother tongue), as well as English, but in this outfit it’s more reggae with his trance like singing in Yolngu Mate. I love when artists are open to experimenting with different genres and, as a songwriter, I really like writing songs in all styles. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but this combination works for sure. I hold this album in my heart as one of the greatest Australian albums of all time. It’s very hard to get a physical copy of it, but look it up on YouTube. 

PJ Harvey – Dry
When I was 13 I bought a black and white tv for $5.00 from a second hand store. I set it up in my bedroom and invited a friend over for a sleep over so we could watch RAGE, the weekend music program that started at midnight. Led Zeppelin came on which was cool, but then the music clip for the song ‘Dress’ by PJ Harvey came on and changed my world. The song blew my mind. It made me feel crazy. The strings at the end were a revelation as I was a very lazy learner (of the violin), and the song gave me hope that maybe I didn’t have to read the music and play nicely. There is a sexy guitar line in the instrumental section and still to this day I want to listen to that song on repeat. I lived in a small town where it was hard to access music, but I somehow managed to borrow Dry from an older girl at school and I taped it onto cassette. A friend’s older sister showed me how to play some chords on the guitar and eventually I taught myself how to play the song ‘Joe’. Soon after, I gave up violin and moved to writing songs and playing guitar.

Kate Bush – Hounds Of Love
I listened to a lot of my dad’s records growing up and was particularly drawn to his Kate Bush collection. An art teacher discovered I was a fan and gave me lots of videos, CDs and books on Kate Bush and Wilhelm Reich to study and read. Kate Bush wrote a song about Reich called ‘Cloudbusting’. The cloudbusting machine was created by Reich, who believed he could release orgasmic energy into the air which would dissolve pollution and stop war. He was jailed by the American government and his son wrote a book about it called ‘A Book of Dreams’. That’s what the song Cloudbusting is about. Each track on this record is a story condensed into a song; Kate Bush is a very good storyteller,songwriter, dancer and actor. I’d love to get better at bringing these elements into my writing.

Patti Smith – Horses
I was sitting in a circle with some girlfriends getting stoned one day after school, and someone put on the album Horses. I started tripping out to the lyrics; it made me feel rebellious and made me want to be a poet. The album was produced by John Cale, whose music I now deeply love, he is also part of the Lou Reed, Velvet Underground lineage. This album influenced me to be who I am and work with what I have, which is a short attention span and not much interest in premeditating production. I love vibing music with a group and being open to spontaneity in the studio. Patti  improvised the lyrics to the song ‘Birdland’ in the studio – they come from ‘A Book of Dreams’ by Peter Reich (she too wrote a song about Reich who made the cloud busting machine!). When I went to university I studied classical music and singing. In my final exam, the teachers told me I was a performance poet more than a technical musician – I took this as a compliment, as I never had any desire to become an opera singer or a classical musician.

Nirvana – MTV Unplugged In New York
I saw this on tv at about 2am in the morning and it became my favourite Nirvana record. Every song is fucking fabulous, including the cover songs by Bowie, Leadbelly, The Meat Puppets and more. I love it when rock artists present stripped back versions of their songs. The harmonies in this live recording are beautiful and there is a cello in there too! This album made me realise a good song is a good song, and I aspire to make a good song that can be performed with a whole band or solo.

PLAYLIST: March 2024

The Get In Her Ears team have put together another eclectic mix of alt pop tunes, alternative & shoegaze anthems, unusual electronic sounds, and indie & folk musings for your listening pleasure. Take some time to scroll through our track choices below, and make sure you press play on the playlist at the end of this post.

Follow GIHE on Spotify to hear all of our previous playlists too.

ARXX – ‘Crying In The Carwash’
The latest single from Brighton duo ARXX, ‘Crying In The Carwash’ is a celebration of when the duo found out they were supporting one of their musical heroes, Muna, and the happy tears that followed. Oozing tonnes of synth-driven anthemic energy and an emotion-strewn uplifting power, it’s impossible to listen to it and not feel all the feels. It may be their poppiest track yet, and that’s no bad thing. We love ARXX so much and so incredibly happy to see them doing so well and living their dreams. They’re off on tour next month supporting American artist Fletcher, and we know that Hanni has recently had a polyp removed from their throat, so we’re wishing them all the best vibes and quick recovery.

Tiiva – ‘Tornados’
I love this euphoric anthem from GIHE fave Tiiva. Full of sweeping melodies, jagged synths and soaring vocals, Tiiva explains “‘Tornados’ is about possibility and hope through hedonism and thinking about the different directions you can take. It’s inspired from spiritual ideals of using intuition instead of influence, listening to primal voices and leaning into self trust and belief to keep going when things are difficult or confusing in life.”
(Kate Crudgington – Co-Founder & Features Editor)

Circe – ‘Blue Love’
I am OBSESSED with this song from dark-pop artist and GIHE fave Circe. ‘Blue Love’ is so romantic, so melancholic, so candid, so sultry; it’s a BIG FEELINGS pop anthem. Circe described it as “Karen O produced by The Cure during their Disintegration era” and I wholeheartedly agree. ‘Blue Love’ is all about being love bombed and dealing with fuckboys, swirling in the ashes of disappointment and rising from them in defiance. I can’t get enough of it. (KC)

Pink Milk – ‘You Will Follow Me to Hell’
A gorgeous piece of goth-rock-electronica from Swedish act Pink Milk here. It’s taken from their excellent new album, Night On Earth, which is inspired by dystopian science fiction fantasies and marks a heavier, darker new era in sound for the band. So gloomy, so sultry, I love it. (KC)

Wisp – ‘Enough For You’
I’ve been soaking up the lush shoegaze sounds of 19 year-old San Francisco-based musician Wisp for a little while now. This single is lifted from her upcoming debut EP, Pandora, which is due on 5th April. Inspired by feelings of self-loathing and false perceptions of ones self, ‘Enough For You’ is another mesmerising blend of her hushed vocals, heavy riffs and driving beats. (KC)

Fräulein – ‘Feels Like Flying’ (Day and Night)
Ahead of the release of their debut mini album in June, GIHE faves Fräulein have released a pair of sister singles, the opening and closing tracks of the collection. With the ‘Day’ version of ‘Feels Like Flying’, the duo express all the swirling excitement and fierce emotions that can come with being in love, showcasing their trademark gritty energy and the immense soaring splendour of Joni’s vocals. The ‘Night’ version, on the other hand, offering a more melancholy reflection as twinkling hooks and subdued beats accompany a more delicate side to Joni’s heartfelt lyricism. Fräulein really are one of the most exciting bands on the scene at the moment, and it’s so wonderful to follow their journey as they go from strength to strength; continuing to hone their sound, not afraid to experiment whilst maintaining their distinctive fierce allure, as these two tracks side-by-side perfectly illustrate. Sink Or Swim, the debut mini album from Fräulein, is out on 14th June via Submarine Cat Records. (ML)

Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra – ‘Problem Child’
This is the latest sigle from Dublin-based alt-shoegazers Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra, released via Anon Records. I’m always so impressed by vocalist & guitarist Sarah Deegan’s observational lyrics and her clear voice, which genuinely took my breath away the first time I heard it live when the band headlined our GIHE gig at The Shacklewell Arms last in October last year. PCRO are currently working on their debut album, which I look forward to hearing in the near future. (KC)

Fresh – ‘Merch Girl’
Ahead of the release of a new EP next month, London indie-pop legends have now shared the title track. Fizzing with all the jangly hooks that we’ve come to know and love from the band, ‘Merch Girl’ reflects on the struggle that women can face to get to where they want to be within the music industry as it builds with a swirling, shimmering energy. Of the track, vocalist Kathryn Woods explains: “It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, drawing from clichés of the wallflower, the sidekick, but ultimately it’s empowering and a reflection on the ways that we come into our own as women artists.” Merch Girl, the upcoming new EP from Fresh, is out 19th April via Specialist Subject. (ML)

Gouge Away – ‘Spaced Out’
If you want a dose of dynamic, commanding noise led by a knockout lead vocal – look no further than Gouge Away. ‘Spaced Out’ is one of many antagonistic, impressive anthems on their most recent album, Deep Sage, a record which I have been furiously spinning since it was released earlier this month. (KC)

Pageant Mum – ‘All My Life’
An absolute rager from Bolton based teenagers Pageant Mum here! Izzy Ingham’s powerful vocals soar over the band’s frenzied beats and heavy riffs, providing a cathartic rush of angst and a “plea to all of us here together on a divided rock” to unite against apathy. (KC)

The Menstrual Cramps – ‘Class War’
The latest single from some of our favourite punks, Bristol’s The Menstrual Cramps, ‘Class War’ offers a scathing commentary on the current state of British society as seething hooks are blasted out with a raging energy. A fierce, rallying cry, inciting us to join a union and support workers’ rights, it showcases the band’s immense impassioned drive and ferocious spirit. Of the track, front person Emilia comments: “Women’s rights are workers rights. Always support strikers, and never cross a picket line!” Ahead of their set at Manchester Punk Festival this week, this track cements The Menstrual Cramps as one of the most important bands around at the moment; consistently able to create a perfect balance of explosive, cathartic rage, alongside an empowering sense of unity. To celebrate the single’s release, The Menstrual Cramps have collaborated with Courier Brewing Company to bring out their very own pale ale – punk and beer, two of our favourite things! And 50p per pint will be donated to vital charity akt. (ML)

pink suits – ‘Are You Gay Yet?’
Ahead of the release of their new album next month, Margate duo pink suits have shared fierce new single, ‘Are You Gay Yet?’ Reflecting on numerous interactions that Lennie’s had throughout their life when people have questioned or confronted them about their sexuality, it’s a seething celebration of queerness delivered with the raw, fierce energy we’ve come to know and love from the band. Lennie explains: “This song was us wanting to be aggressively confident in being noticeably gay. A reclamation of many moments like this when I wanted to yell, ‘Am I gay yet? Fuck yes!’ To tell everyone that they need to get over this shit already. People are gay. I am gay. We are gay. You might be gay too… and that is ok.” Dystopian Hellscape, the new album from pink suits, is out on 1st April. They’re out on tour at the moment, and will be stopping by at Cro Cro Land at Stanley Arts in Norwood on 13th April – we’ll be there DJing, and can’t wait for the epic line-up of faves including Fraulein, Fightmilk, Dogviolet, Whitelands and lots more. Hopefully see you there! (ML)

BCOS RSNS – ‘(First On At The) Buffalo Bar’
Having always hung out with bands, but only ever fantasised about being in one, London scene queen Abi Brady has now made that dream a reality with new band BCOS RSNS. Ahead of the release of their debut album in May, they’ve now shared the first taste of what to expect. Reflecting on the somewhat depressing reality of the large number of music venues that are closing, and the accompanying existential anxiety, it’s an instant indie earworm. Propelled by uptempo beats, fuzzy hooks jangle throughout as tales of London nightlife are recounted with a wonky charm and subtle wit. BCOS RSNS, the eponymous debut album, is set for release on 22nd May. (ML)

The Baby Seals- ‘ID’d At Aldi’
Another taster from their upcoming new album, the latest single from The Baby Seals reflects on the smug joy that comes with being told that you look younger than you are. Propelled by the their trademark catchy yet gritty energy, and a raging sense of fun, ‘ID’d At Aldi’ once again showcases The Baby Seals’ ability to deliver witty-yet-necessary, gloriously danceable punk anthems. And you should definitely watch the ‘shot on location’, action-packed accompanying video. Chaos, the new album from The Baby Seals, is out on 19th April via Trapped Animal Records, and you can catch Kerry from the band chatting about it on our next show on Soho Radio next Monday 1st April! (ML)

Mammoth Penguins – ‘Everything That I Write’
I’ve had such a soft spot for Cambridgeshire band Mammoth Penguins for years now – their 2019 album, There’s No Fight We Both Can’t Win, is probably one of my most played records, and it was such a joy to have them play for us that year too. Ahead of the release of a new album in May, new single ‘Everything That I Write’ examines the dynamics of trust and intimacy in a long term relationship, whilst flowing with all the lilting scuzzy energy and distinctive raw emotion of Emma Kupa’s vocals that I love so much. Here, the upcoming new album from Mammoth Penguins is set for release on 3rd May via Fika Records. (ML)

Brennan Wedl – ‘Fake Cowboy’
A heartfelt ode to East Nashville’s infamous Honky Tonk, ‘Fake Cowboy’ is the new single from Kill Rock Stars signed artist Brennan Wedl (aka my new favourite singer). Rippling with a glistening raw emotion, it showcases the raw emotion of Wedl’s luscious vocals as Americana-tinged stripped-back strumming builds to a gritty, fuzz-filled anthem, with shades of the legendary Sheryl Crow. I think it’s pretty exquisite and – being quite late to the Brennan Wedl party – I can’t wait to hear more from this awesome artist. You can watch a beautiful live rendition of the track here. (ML)

Grace Petrie – ‘Meanwhile In Texas’
I was lucky enough to catch Grace Petrie live at Islington Assembly Hall earlier this month, and it was a truly wonderful and unifying evening celebrating her fantastic latest album, Build Something Better. The whole album is a really beautiful collection, probably her most politically-charged yet, but delivered with her trademark lilting folk-strewn musicality. This is probably my favourite track; reflecting on the increasing wave of misogynist laws that are putting the lives of women, LGBTQ+ and trans folk in danger, it’s a poignant and necessary listen, inciting us to unite and fight against the forces that seek to oppress us. (ML)

Brides – ‘Eat Dirt’
‘Eat Dirt’ is a swaggering dose of queer Southern Gothic Rock from East London band Brides. Inspired by Gabriel Picolo’s graphic novel, Icarus and the Sun, the track is a gritty reflection on what vocalist Hannie McBride describes as a “love that burns too hot and leaves you in the dust.” It’s a brooding anti-love anthem, full of heavy riffs and permeated by a deep sense of lust and longing. (KC)

Nuha Ruby Ra – ‘Fetish 2 Forget’
We’ve been big fans of East London artist Nuha Ruby Ra for a while now, and I love the glitchy cinematic sound of this new single. Her soaring vocals alongside the the industrial, tension building soundscape ooze shades of something that the legendary Trent Reznor might create, which is always welcome here at GIHE! (ML)

NikNak – ‘You Were Supposed To Be Good’
Leeds-based DJ and producer NikNak blends experimental synths, jazz sounds and jungle beats on this eclectic and infectiously good track, which also features Grifton Forbes-Amos and Cassie Kinoshi. Taken from her upcoming album, Ireti, which is set for release on 21st May via Accidental Records, NikNak will be playing live in April at venues in Plymouth, Manchester, Bristol and Glasgow, all tickets are available online now. (KC)

LUCI – ‘Thunder Calling’
This track from US artist LUCI is taken from her upcoming debut album, They Say They Love You, which is set for release on 19th April via Don’t Sleep. I love LUCI’s clear vocals and eclectic instrumentation here. I tried to catch her live at The Great Escape Festival last year but I missed her show – regretting that now! (KC)

Noé Solange – ‘Rise’
I’m super glad I discovered this track from London-based, Dutch-Indonesian producer Noé Solange in my inbox.’Rise’ is the title track from her recent EP, and it’s a dreamy piece of downtempo electronica, inspired by the processes of nature, healing and self discovery. (KC)

Blonde Maze – ‘Beside You’
Any of our regular followers will be familiar with just how much I love Blonde Maze, and so it should come as no surprise that I’m currently completely addicted to her new single. Another blissful offering, ‘Beside You’ shimmers with hazy electronics and heartfelt vocals, as an immersive twinkling soundscape builds. As with everything else that the New York artist creates, this track just provides a perfect soothing antidote to life’s stresses; a truly euphoric sonic catharsis. (ML)

Hinako Omori – ‘cyanotype memories’ (Joe Goddard Remix)
Loving this Hot Chip remix of ‘cyanotype memories’, originally released by GIHE fave Hinako Omori via Houndstooth Records. Joe Goddard has put a playful spin on Hinako’s more tender, slow-building original piece. Hinako’s most recent album, stillness, softness…, is a real treat for the ears. Soothing, intuitive and graceful electronica – totally worth a listen. (KC)

Elsa Hewitt – ‘Wash The Sea’
Another intricate blend of lo-fi synth loops and vocal improvisations from the wonderful Elsa Hewitt here. ‘Wash The Sea’ is taken from her upcoming eighth album, Chaos Emeralds, which is set for release on 12th April. Chaos Emeralds is the result of an intense few years of personal change and growth for the artist, full of field recordings and poetry extracts, all underscored by her trademark magnetic electronica. (KC)

AVR – ‘Etude No.2’ (Philip Glass Rework)
This is a beautiful re-working of a Phili Glass piece by the incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist and producer AVR. Released via Philip Glass’ own label Orange Mountain Music, AVR’s atmospheric re-imagining is also accompanied by a video that was shot in collaboration with French fashion house Mugler. Sonically and visually, this is a total delight. Watch the video here. (KC)

Zemlya – ‘Ether’
I was so pleased to find this experimental soundscape from Brussels-based duo Zemlya in my inbox. Taken from their self-titled EP, this track ‘Ether’ is one of three extended pieces on the record that are inspired by the sounds and rhythms of their inner bodies and surroundings. It’s a truly haunting, hypnotising and disarming listen. (KC)

Birthday Problem ft. Róisín Nic Ghearailt – ‘An Maighdean Mhara’
This is the second track from Birthday Problem, a collaborative electronica project from Irish multi-instrumentalists and producers Matt Harris and Rocky O’Reilly. “As a proud Gaeilgeoir, it’s extremely important to me to show that gaeilge is for gach duine (everyone)”, explains guest lyricist and vocalist Róisín Nic Ghearailt, former member of post-punk band M(h)aol. Written entirely in Irish, Róisín penned the track when she moved back home, and the result is a sultry, brooding soundscape inspired by the tumultuous, alluring nature of the sea. (KC)

Anenome – ‘Fascinate Me’
This is the second single from Dublin post-folk four piece Anenome, lifted from their upcoming EP, Human Remains, which is set for release later this year. I love their dynamic instrumentation; eerie string sounds, brooding bass lines and yearning vocals combine to tantalise and antagonise the senses. (KC)

Kee Avil – ‘Felt’
‘Felt’ is an un-nerving blend of brittle synth textures, aching vocals, twangy strings and erratic beats from Montréal-based experimental artist and producer Kee Avil. Taken from her upcoming second album, Spine, which is set for release on 3rd May via Constellation, the way in which she expertly fuses gritty and gentle elements into her music always impresses me. (KC)

Kira McSpice – ‘Evaporate’
Taken from her beautifully titled upcoming album, The Compartmentalization of Decay, this track from Kira McSpice is a haunting reflection on trauma. Her new record is a deeply personal exploration of life after sexual assault, which the artist personifies through the natural processes of the maple tree. Her exquisite voice and dynamic string arrangements make for striking and hypnotic listening. (KC)

Mere Child – ‘Storms’
‘Storms’ is the latest single from independent artist Aimee Herbert aka Mere Child. Her soft vocals and shimmering instrumentation blend harmoniously together on ‘Storms’ to create a gentle, atmospheric rumination on emotional resilience. (KC)

Holly Munro – ‘Dead Ends’
This latest single from Irish songwriter Holly Munro is a thoughtful reflection on the way in which we choose our paths in life. Inspired by seeing her physical footprints in the sand after finishing a meditation, ‘Dead Ends’ is an emotive and considered exploration “questioning the choices you make and reflecting on how they shape your future in ways you can’t always predict or control.” (KC)

LIVE (Photos): Grace Petrie – Islington Assembly Hall, 14.03.24

Having last seen Grace Petrie live at local venue Stanley Arts back in 2021, and spoken to her earlier that year, it was great to get the opportunity to see her again – this time with a full live band at Islington Assembly Hall, and oozing even more understated, yet strident, empowering charm than ever before. A truly wonderful and unifying evening, celebrating the release of her new album, Build Something Better (and in anticipation of its exciting top 30 chart position the following day), it was a real pleasure to experience her poignant, politically-charged anthems amongst a filled venue of like-minded individuals. With her lilting folk-strewn musicality elevated and energised with the addition of Robin Gatt on lead guitar, Francesca Knowles on drums, Jasmine Kennedy on bass and Amy Thatcher on accordion, as well as her constant comrade Ben Moss on fiddle, it felt like a particularly special evening; whilst not holding back with addressing issues of urgency with a fierce spirit, Petrie was able to create an atmosphere of joyous warmth and solidarity. Resonant, necessary messages delivered with an infectious energy, inciting us to unite and fight against the forces that seek to oppress us. 

As well as being lucky enough to immerse ourselves in Grace’s live set, we were able to have a quick chat about the new album and tour, see our photos from the night, and snippets from the interview below.

“Build Something Better is probably my most political record for a long while. It was inspired by the general sense of dissatisfaction in modern day Britain, especially the nationalistic undertones that the government are utilising to try and distract from the many ways that people are increasingly unhappy and dissatisfied with living standards here. And that just kind of inspired a lot of angry, political songs.”

“Writing the album, I was very inspired by different folk-rock albums, like Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball, The Decemberists, and an Australian band called The Maes that I’ve been listening to a lot recently.”

“I’ve been having an amazing time touring it, this is my first time playing with this line-up, and it’s just been absolutely amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better band to lift these songs to an amazing new live level that I’ve never been able to access before. I’ve just been having a really great time!”

GIHE alumni Gabi Garbutt also delivered a really beautiful set as support, before Molly Naylor treated us to her witty and relatable poetry.

Build Something Better, the new album from Grace Petrie, is out now via The Robot Needs Home Collective. And Grace will be heading out to Australia this week for a couple of live dates, before heading back there in May for the Guilty Feminist tour. More info here.

WATCH: BCOS RSNS – ‘(First On At The) Buffalo Bar’

A catchy and absorbing debut single, ‘(First On At The) Buffalo Bar‘ by BCOS RSNS is a deceptively upbeat love letter to a precarious live music scene. A bouncy rhythm blending with cheery keys and fuzzy guitar riffs captures the liveliness and excitement of being at the kind of gig that makes it worth paying London prices for a pint.

The verses recount fond memories of the kind of weird and wonderful acts that find the space to perform in small venues willing to take a punt on something different, and anyone who knows and loves a local venue with a cramped stage and an eclectic-bordering-on-chaotic rotation of performers will recognise at least some of the images conjured in this track. The bright chorus repeats “I wanna be first on at the Buffalo Bar” with an infectious enthusiasm that makes you want to take your weird idea and go play there too. The riff beneath is an absolute earworm that will have you humming that chorus for a long time.

Regretful repeated lines come in towards the end that give the song an all too familiar sense of heartbreak; the simple change to the lyrics, with almost no shift in the music subverts the happy experiences into just memories. The sense of nostalgia is nice, but the loss of such a gem to the live music scene is tragic, and that feeling evokes the loss of many, many incredible community spaces lost to the ravages of late stage capitalism. It tinges those stories with sadness that even the most busy, vibrant cities can’t keep their best small venues afloat.

‘(First On At The) Buffalo Bar’ expertly captures the existential anxiety of seeing a scene you love to be a part of crumble away before your eyes, as a brutal economy and an increasing disregard for the arts rip holes in the fabric of the DIY community.

BCOS RSNS have chosen their debut perfectly. Given the presence the band have in the DIY scene in London, as familiar faces at all the best gigs both on stage and supporting from the crowd, this track really represents their authentic personality as well as introducing their sound to people further afield hearing them for the first time.

BCOS RSNS, the eponymous debut album from the band, is out on 22nd May, and you can celebrate the release with them live at The Cavendish Arms on 25th May.
