Life on Earth

Tiny Vipers is Jesy Fortino, a musician living in Seattle. Since her last and first album, 2007's Hands Across The Void, she's toured Europe and the US, transfixing audiences into a solemn hush. Transcending the mere folk tag, Fortino draws from disparate inspirational sources, from the avant-garde or country musician Townes Van Zandt. Life On Earth gives musical life to the themes that inhabit her lyricisms: love found and lost, places come and gone. The future annihilates the past, consuming it like a fire. A shining hope permeates the threat of doom here.
