Far from conventional, ladyybirdd's debut album, Tomorrow's Yesterday, is a personal exploration set to a landscape of electo-acoustic composition integrating improvisation, analog FX, with the flute at the center. While a flute may seem an unlikely candidate for musical insurrection, ladyybirdd brings dynamic intensity and unrestricted adventure. The album features contributions from Ambrose Akinmusire, Immanuel Wilkins, Nick Dunston among others, and is co-produced by Joseph Branciforte.
