The recent unveiling of Riki’s sophomore LP, Gold, marks another tier in her art-pop ascension. Produced by Telefon Tel Aviv’s Joshua Eustis, and echoing eclectic 80’s touchstones from Saâda Bonaire to Strawberry Switchblade and Bryan Ferry to Bananarama, Gold ultimately transcends its influences, fusing private heartbreak with anthemic emotion in swooning, singular fashion.
