Eugenia Riot is the vibrant new folk creation from singer-songwriter Leigh Jones (Crow and the Canyon, Five Letter Word). Based in Portland, Oregon, Eugenia Riot explores the crescendos of love and heartache through relatable, lilting lyrics and moving melodies. Jones’ self-examining songwriting, fortified by indie-rock accompaniment, makes her debut album Can’t Wait to Miss You (due in May) both gentle and fierce, playful and romantic – an engaging blend of folk, rock, and pop.
Glide is premiering her new single “Can’t Wait To Miss You,” (below) which curates with a stunning simplicity of heartache and longing, reminiscent of both Alison Krauss and Beth Orton. Riot keeps this four-minute jewel tightly wound with just enough ingredients of celestial folk and melodic hooks to keep ears filled with melancholy nostalgia. The song builds up to a final orchestral conclusion that puts a cool exclamation point on this earnest song statement.
