Ribbon Music

Thao and the Get Down Stay Down's last album was 2013's 'We the Common'. They finally follow it up with, 'A Man Alive' via Ribbon Music. It was recorded at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone Studios and was produced by Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs. 'A Man Alive' is more instrumental, more riff- and loop-centric, and has more manipulated sounds. The songs are often punctuated by handclaps, sing-along choruses, and ass-shaking beats. While these songs come from a deeply personal origin, they have such an accessible quality that it is easy to imagine an engaged and participatory live audience. 'A Man Alive' is undoubtedly a new career highlight for Thao and The Get Down Stay Down. The album presents a fiercely original group sound that is rife with experimentation and playfulness. It demonstrates Thao's development as a songwriter. And it achieves that most elusive quality in music - to create an album of songs that are dark yet buoyant, tragic yet redemptive, personal yet inclusive.LP - Black Vinyl with Download.LP+ - Limited Clear with Red Smoke Vinyl with Download.
