Reviews for RILLE:
Best Albums of 2022 – The Wire:
Vital Weekly 1318 : We don’t do such a thing, but ‘album of the week’ for sure, for me! (Frans de Waard)
Squid’s Ear Review: Rille is an excellent, highly enjoyable and thoughtful release from Allbee, expertly walking that elusive line between song and experimentation. (Brian Olewnick)
Freistil 101: The long-awaited solo album by Liz Allbee, which has now finally become a reality, turned out to be a quiet, poetic to roaringly radical album, of course. (Andreas Fellinger)
The Wire: Rille’s broad stylistic range is beautifully distilled, capturing a uniquely less-is-more aesthetic. Each note – each sound – is perfectly placed, acutely heard and felt…(Andy Hamilton)
Bad Alchemy 113: …I am a beast of another tongue. A furry beast that has my heart and soul in this wondrous song. Finally, with ‘Burrows’, night bird-like sounds and an oscillating humming sound to a decent beat, until a chirping and chirping humming bass wave begins to dawn that belongs entirely to the birds. What is it called by Kafka? “…[T]he most beautiful thing about my burrow is the stillness. Of course, that is deceptive. At any moment it may be shattered and then all will be over. For the time being, however, the silence is with me”. (Rigobert Dittmann)
Nitestylez: A highly recommended album, this.
