Red Ribbon • Crying My Car • 2024

There's a blazing fierceness that permeates Red Ribbon, Danner's most unflinching work to date, informed in part by her recent foray into martial arts -- something she studied while making the record. Her time spent in the boxing gym and the studio were undeniably intertwined, each experience working in tandem to empower her to express anger, salacity and passion unabashedly. "I couldn't help but learn how to be 'a lady' growing up: always polite, always friendly, always likable. So it felt nice and necessary to finally exhale against all of that," she says. "I've always censored myself, but on Red Ribbon, I let myself be more free. This record feels visceral.”
