Lady Lamb the Beekeeper is 23-year old Maine-bred, Brooklyn-based Aly Spaltro. After building a following in Portland, ME, Boston and New York, Lady Lamb is introducing herself to the rest of the world. Next week, Ba Da Bing releases her debut album, Ripely Pine, but you can hear it early right now via WNYC Soundcheck’s “Check Ahead” series. Give a listen to Lady Lamb’s cinematic lyrics over complex structures, and you as well will find it hard to believe this is a musician who only started teaching herself guitar five years ago in between shifts at a video rental store.
Live, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper’s performances are unhinged and unadorned – she plays fierce guitar and sings, careening from hums to screams within seconds with melodies that run rampant, all the while maintaining artistic-control. Presenting her songs’ stark rawness, Ripely Pine also excellently conveys that intensity and confidence portrayed on stage – it is a pure representation of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. She will play shows in the Northeast following this release and more dates will be announced in the coming weeks.
Ripely Pine is available to purchase today on iTunes – http://bit.ly/WYrJ1P

“she exudes unwavering cool throughout. Tip-toeing verses blossom into sweeping choruses that arrive like a tidal wave, teeming with bells and whistles. By the time we get to the exuberant finale, winding guitars splinter into a stuttering cacophony.” – Time Out Chicago
“a genuine force of wonder.” – Paste [“12 New York Bands You Should Listen to Now”]
“Spaltro writes stark, sad, passionate, often-very-long songs that veer from whisper-quiet to fearsomely screamed, and she isn’t afraid of framing them in moments of occasional musical grandeur.” – About.com [“10 Bands to Watch in 2013”]
