Rio En Medio Peace Sequence CD

2013 release, the third full-length from songwriter Danielle Stech-Homsy under the Rio en Medio moniker. Recorded and produced by Stech-Homsy herself in the New Mexico and California deserts, the album offers nine reveries on a borrowed Martin guitar, several of which feature veteran koto master Shoko Hikage. Also guesting on organs on two songs is psychedelic multi-instrumentalist Nathan Shineywater. Rio en Medio's debut album Bride of Dynamite was released on Gnomonsong in 2006, and she toured with Devendra Banhart across the US as main opening support, appearing at the Banhart-curated All Tomorrow's Parties in England. Stech-Homsy has toured the USA and internationally with such bands as Coco Rosie and Brightblack Morning Light, and shared the stage with Michael Snock Hurley, Grizzly Bear, Vetiver, Vashti Bunyan and Diane Cluck. She was requested to perform at '60s folksier Linda Perhaps's first public performance in decades. Los Angeles's Manimal Vinyl label released the second Rio en Medio full-length, Frontier, in 2008.
