Agent Ribbons – I'm Alright
Tags
Biography
Sacramento, United States
Usually, you’ll experience them as a three piece, but they are also known to keep it simple with the original two-piece guitar, drums and vocals line up. In either case, they almost always catch crowds off-guard with their live rawness, bringing both an honest minimalism and unapologetic theatricality to their live shows.
Agent Ribbons isn’t just a band-–it’s a treehouse club of post-feminist dreamers trying to find their place in the scheme of things, like a hand-sewn and lovingly-crafted garment in a modern, disposable world. Listening to everything from Eartha Kitt to The Velvet Underground and taking notes from bands like The Shaggs, Th e Boswell Sisters, and Th e Zombies, they miraculously reconcile seemingly-unrelated genres, sounding something like Girls in the Garage doing the Three Penny Opera. Waxing sentimental over the eerie beauty of all things lost to time, the emphasis is undoubtedly in the lyrics, which favor clever turns of phrase and occasional humor, but never at the expense of the melodic integrity of their catchy, memorable songs.

My only complaint about Agent Ribbons is that they don't have enough albums for me to spend my money on!

Jesus, one of the only artists of the 21st century I've heard that can actually write melodies. I saw them on Thursday with Camera Obscura, amazing show. Bought their album and now I'm in love.

Adore. I lived in Sacramento for 9 months, and I think 6 of those were sustained by Agent Ribbons alone. They played in LA recently -- what a treat.

I didn't know you were on Last FM! Maybe you won't ever see this. Love, your favorite Mexican.
