Hurray for the Riff Raff

The Past Is Still Alive

£39.99

Released: 23rd February 2024. 'The Past Is Still Alive' is an album grappling with time, memory, love and loss, recorded in Durham, NC a month after losing my father. 'Alibi' is a plea, a last-ditch effort to get through to someone you already know you're gonna lose. It's a song to myself, to my Father, almost fooling myself because I know what's done is done. But it feels good to beg. A reckoning with time and memory. The song is exhausted with loving someone so much it hurts. Addiction separates us. With memories of the Lower East Side in the early 2000s of my childhood, mixed with imagery of the endless West that calls to artists and wanderers' - Alynda Segarra/Hurray for the Riff Raff.
