Ripe - Bright Blues

Ripe’s new album Bright Blues is a collection of 12 songs full of sleek grooves and bold melodies that the Boston quintet put together to help ride out tough times, an anthem for better days ahead.“The wildest thing for me is that the record simultaneously sounds like it has the scars of everything we’ve been through and also that it doesn’t — it’s joyful music, which is very exciting given that it was made in the middle of getting hit in the stomach,” says singer Robbie Wulfsohn, who came together with guitarist Jon Becker, drummer Sampson Hellerman, trombonist Calvin Barthel and bassist Nadav Shapira while they were all studying at Berklee College of Music.
