Raavi

"The experiences Raavi Sita describes on The Upside may be upsetting, but the songs represent a triumph over adversity—tentative moves toward solidifying a fuller identity. In these stark musical settings, Sita writes from a place of narrative and musical strength, her view of events enhanced by the gift of hindsight. Fans shouldn’t expect Raavi’s releases—a full-length is on the way in the not-so-distant future—to continue to pursue this unadorned musical territory. However, listeners will immediately appreciate how singular and potent this mini-collection of material feels within Raavi’s catalog, as well as within their corner of the New York City scene—a rare gem that necessitates close relistening and profound consideration." - Winston Cook-Wilson
