red steppes LP out today, featured in NPR's New Music Friday playlist

Indie folk artist red steppes have a new album out today via Native Cat Recordings. The sophomore release, Arcs, is the fruit of a series of displacements, disturbances, and reorientations.

Album cut “A Careful Garden” is featured today in NPR' New Music Friday playlist on Apple Music and Spotify! You can order it here.
