Album Of The Week: Ribbon Skirt Bite Down

How do you stop someone from rising through the ceiling? This is the first line of Ribbon Skirt’s “Deadhorse,” the opening to their debut album Bite Down. It only gets more visceral and surreal from there: There’s someone kicking through window panes. There’s piss in a cup. There’s someone fucking up their whole life on a Wednesday. There’s a midnight meeting at a 7-Eleven. There’s black ice on the freeway. There’s someone crying on an airplane.
