Montana country singer Riddy Arman's self-titled debut album comes out this Friday (9/10) via La Honda Records and Thirty Tigers (pre-order), and we're premiering a full stream of the LP ahead of its release. "This album is a story, and that story sorta lies in the landscape of a nostalgic coming of age tale," Riddy tells us. "The songs are stories of loss, growth, heartbreak, spirituality, desire, isolation—all of the ingredients for a devastating, while at the same time comforting, collection of songs."
As we said when we posted the three singles, the songs have a classic-yet-modern country feel, not far removed from recent country trailblazers like Margo Price and Amanda Shires, and the whole album follows suit. If you're into this kind of thing, you shouldn't miss out on this one. Stream it below.
Riddy is also about to begin a tour with labelmate Colter Wall (including NYC's Irving Plaza on Saturday, 9/11), and about the tour, she says, "We’re so excited for these East coast dates with Colter and his band—I’m thrilled to play some of the rust belt theater’s I frequented as a teenager, growing up in Ohio. I really can’t wait to perform my album live and put my vinyl in the hands of people. It really feels like a dream." All dates are listed below.
