While working the night shift at a video rental shop in Brunswick, Maine, 23-year-old multi-instrumentalist
Aly Spaltro
crafted her haunting solo sounds. Writing and recording after hours for a four-year period,
Spaltro
experimented with songwriting and sounds privately before performing live or sharing her wealth of sounds with an audience. Working under the name
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
,
debuted her project with
Ripely Pine
, a glowing and often anguished collection of spare and haunted songs somewhere between campfire folk and yearning indie rock.
