Alexandra Riorden’s debut LP Angel City Radio is an abstract chronicle of the tumultuous healing process one endures after experiencing trauma, wrapped in a smoke-scented velvet curtain of shimmering indie-rock. Progressing like a Lynchian dream sequence, each song on the record takes the listener down a different hallway in the labyrinth that is recovery; some dark & menacing, others somber & reflective, but all moving towards empowerment and self-reliance. “The process of healing is not linear, it’s cyclical,” says Riorden. “You experience a trauma and then a lot of different things come up and you hopefully make progress, but it’s not just like it’s over and you’re done. Things come up again and again, but every time they do you’re getting stronger and making strides towards healing.”

Multi-instrumentalist spending nearly a decade in Portland, Oregon touring extensively with bands such as Haley Heynderickx, Y La Bamba, Nick Delffs, and Alexandra Savior. A set of songs written mostly in basements or sub-leased rooms, with terrible jokes to boot. His dad says hi.
