‘LIFE ON EARTH’ is the eighth album from Hurray for the Riff Raff, aka. Alynda Segarra, Segarra described this album as ‘nature punk’, not in that it’s a climate action album but it more so summarises the sound of this highly contemplative album backed by raw, earthy instrumentation. It’s a piece of indie rock that shimmers with Springsteen-esque hooks. Segarra is a queer woman who was born in the Bronx and raised by her Puerto Rican aunt and uncle, and themes of being a Latinx immigrant in the US make their presence known on this powerful project.
