A truly groundbreaking musical force of nature, Angela Sheik’s enigmatic style presents a dynamic challenge for anyone trying to capture or pin her down with simple phrases or traditional categorizations. On her new album “Home Before Dark”, the soulful music innovator opens up a world of sonic, rhythmic and compositional possibilities that have driven her success as a multi-faceted, trip-hop and electronic-infused folk-pop indie artist.
Though she has been compared to everyone from Billie Holiday to Imogen Heap, the expansive vibe of the album reflects many of her favorite lifelong influences, including tripnotic downtempo masters like Bjork, The Chemical Brothers, Portishead and contemporary artists like Jack White, Grizzly Bear, Sia and Zero7. Blown away by RYAT’s fierce innovation after seeing her perform for the first time in Flagstaff, Arizona, Angela knew that RYAT would bring the perfect touches, textures and effects to help her realize her own vision for the songs.
