Jess Ribeiro is a shape-shifting musical enigma. She's never been prolific (each of her albums have been separated by 3-4 years) but the near-untouchable quality of her recorded output is astonishingly consistent and the wait for new music is always worthwhile.

Ribeiro's 2012 debut album 'My Little River' was an award-winning folk-country masterpiece while her second album (2015's 'Kill It Yourself') was a slow-burning indie-noire masterpiece, which left reviewers scrambling for superlatives.

Now, with new album 'LOVE HATE,' Ribeiro has kissed the swampy humidity of the Australian Music Prize-nominated 'Kill It Yourself' goodbye, and embraced the precise down-strokes and valve-amp hum of a very New York lineage, from the Velvets through to Blondie and Talking Heads.

Produced by Ben Edwards (Aldous Harding/Marlon Williams), it traverses the seven stages of love - capped by those lethally cool vocals for which Ribeiro is revered.
