About this product
With 'Rio Abajo', Venezuelan singer and percussionist Rebecca Roger Cruz bares her soul, unveiling a debut solo album that lies at the confluence of everything that defines her. Birdsong, poetic incantations, baroque orchestrations, magnetic textures, percussive trance... 'Rio Abajo' is an album deeply rooted in the elements and the spirits of the living world. Born in Caracas, Rebecca Roger Cruz grew up in a country where music-spanning from the Atlantic coast to the plains, from rich rainforests to Andean peaks-reflects the exceptional richness of a human and cultural melting pot at the crossroads of the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Yet it was the classics of psychedelic rock and symphonic metal that electrified her as a teenager! This passion led her to study classical singing and early music. A precocious talent, she joined the prestigious Camerata Barroca de Caracas as a soprano at the age of just 17. For the 10 tracks of 'Rio Abajo', Rebecca brought together a close-knit ensemble who together summon seeds, strings, and bamboo into a percussive trance - repertoire from beyond-worlds and deeply connected to the elements and spirits of the living earth.

Reverie is a soundtrack of atmospheric chamber music for violin, cello, and piano by sisters Rebecca Foon and Aliayta Foon-Dancoes, and marks the first full-length album collaboration between the two players/composers. Reverie melds cellist Rebecca's post-rock and semi-improvised sensibility forged from over two decades playing in DIY/indie bands like Esmerine, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, and Set Fire To Flames, with violinist Aliayta's more recent trajectory from award-winning virtuosic performer to academically-shaped explorations of interdisciplinary composition. Following several years in London at the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music, Aliayta's move to Princeton in 2023 for a Composition PhD put the sisters back on the same continent, regularly meeting and collaborating at Rebecca's Lost River studio in Quebec's Laurentian mountains. Working with co-producer Jace Lasek (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Patrick Watson, The Besnard Lakes), the result is an immersive suite of thematic variations that balances intimacy and detail with wide-spectrum spatial lushness. Subtle electronic interventions and gently blown-out acoustics ebb and flow throughout, further conveying Reverie's overriding mission to weave a meditative pastoralism with the underlying anxiety, sorrow, and tragedy of ecocide.

Limited bonus track edition. 2017 . Falling in Reverse return with their much-anticipated fourth studio album, Coming Home. The follow-up to 2015's Just Like You, the album finds the band exploring it's sound and going to new places musically, all the while retaining the signature ethos and aesthetic that has won the love and loyalty of millions of incredibly invested fans and followers. Coming Home is marked by sweeping refrains, airy vocal effects, and unforgettable melodies that will continue to thrill their dedicated legion of supporters. When all is said and done, this album will be viewed as definitive for Falling in Reverse. In the two years since their last record, Falling in Reverse have continued to dominate a scene that has championed them since 2011. The last album kicked off with a Top 20 debut on the Billboard Chart and the band played a steady stream of sold-out headlining shows around the country, culminating with a commanding run on the 2016 Vans Warped Tour. 2017 will be no different. The crowds are out in full force for the band's headlining winter tour and Coming Home is poised to be Falling in Reverse's most successful opus to date.
