An Indie-pop daydream desperate melody with true love's aim. A voice subtle in its delivery and powerful in its affect.

Hooks, lyrics, melody, tears. A teen tragedy - everyone's getting older, hearts are getting bigger, but head and heart can't ever line up.

11 tracks 45RPM. Ribbon Stage are a trio from NYC with no small amount of love for the noise pop days of Dolly Mixture and the Shop Assistants.

The group does perfectly what only punks playing pop music can do-create chaotic noise in tandem with the sweetest hooks and most sophisticated nihilism.

Ribbon Stage makes noise pop so catchy you swear you've heard before. Forever trapped in the space between your ears.

Featuring Mari Softie (Ratas del Vaticano, Tercer Mundo, Exotica, and Pobreza Mental) as well as scene stalwart Jolie M-A (Juicy II, Boys Online) and vocalist Anni Hilator.

Recorded by Hayes Waring on 1/2" 8 track tape in Olympia WA. Mixed by Capt. Tripps Ballsington.

Mastered by Amy Dragon. Look for the video for singles "Playing Possum", "Stone Heart Blue", and "Dead End Descent" as well as a Fall West Coast tour, if touring is at all still possible in the new future.

Whatever happens it is quite assuring that whatever these times may bring bands can still put out music as good as this EP.
