Free Country

Free Country is the moniker of writer/producer Jason Ribadeneyra (Rib-a-den-era). His sound falls somewhere in the dark valley between Elliott Smith and WEEN. Starting as an outlet for home recordings and cassette 4-track manipulations, things soon felt “serious,” becoming the main focus of his musical output. A producer, composer, and confrontational dancer, this is his way to be able to release music without using his government name, which is “way too long for people to be expected to pronounce.” His debut album, Songs W/ Strings (2018) was released on new year's day on 2018, and the EP The Life Of Riley recently came out on Sept 18th of this year.
