Eliza Rickman at Hotel Cafe in LA March 3

Riot Act is very very very excited and happy to announce that Eliza Rickman will be releasing her first full-length album on March 6th.

O, You Sinners goes beyond words in its beauty, and you would be hard pressed to find a selection of music that seeps a musical ache such as this one. If "musical ache" doesn't sound enjoyable to you, then you're not living your life correctly.

Eliza Rickman is a nationally touring artist whose unique and haunting sound combines the lilting sweetness of popular vocalists like Feist or Annie Clark with the gritty sensibilities of PJ Harvey and the playfulness of Kurt Weill.

Eliza recorded her first full-length effort this winter with Chicago-based engineer Mark Greenberg (Andrew Bird, Wilco, Mavis Staples). It was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign during her nationwide spring tour, when over $12k were raised (out of a $6k goal). O, You Sinners, is anticipated for release on March 6th, and highlights Eliza's talent for writing string arrangements, and includes contributions from percussionist Kevin O'Donnell (Andrew Bird's 'Bowl of Fire') & bassist Tom V. Ray (Neko Case, Jakob Dylan).
