Santa Barbara–based singer/songwriter Riorden reminds us the perks of being a weird flower. Both with her debut EP, Weirdflower, and her new song “Madcap Laughs,” the artfully offbeat, deep-feeling performer explores the thin lines of mentality and sanity in a uniquely moving way. Already a master of atmosphere, the powerfully voiced UCSB graduate has emerged this year with a well-crafted, theatrical kind of moonlit, moody folk rock. Listen to Weirdflower below.
