From the rugged mountains of Maine hails one of the most dynamic artists of the indie rock scene. Aly Spaltro, who goes by the stage-name of Lady Lamb, has been conquering the scene since her premiere in 2007 with the EP “The Tingly Circus.” Since the age of 18, Spaltro has been creating music in the basement of Bart & Greg’s DVD Explosion, where she would record after her night shifts until moving to New York in 2010. “It had a huge influence on how I write music because I could be so loud,” said Spaltro in regards to the video store.

Exuding an inimitable sound that blends the sound of Lana Del Rey with Arcade Fire, Lady Lamb fosters an elegance that allows for a sort of symphonic beat that immediately grasps her audience. Lady Lamb’s original material was raw and enthusiastic, but once Spaltro signed with Nadim Issa of Ba Da Bing Records, her music become refined while still maintaining her stylistic edge.

Lady Lamb’s first album, “Ripley Pine,” was released in 2013 under the name of Lady Lamb the Beekeeper. “Ripley Pine” is the first true taste experimentation we hear from Spaltro and surprisingly, the album manages to be mature despite the fact that this is just Lady Lamb’s debut album.

“These songs are about Spaltro five years ago; hopefully reassembling the parts doesn’t mean locking up these messy song banquets for a neater record next time around. The taste is too addictive,” states Laura Snapes of Pitchfork, an online music magazine.

‘After’ was released on March 3

Lyrically, Spaltro is able to craftily weave words into a fashion that celebrates her artistry and compliments her strong vocals. In “Crane Your Neck,” Spaltro screeches her heart out which is perfectly matched with a melodic and simple guitar which eventually bursts with vigor towards the second half of the piece. In the verse, Spaltro states, “The parts that are dormant, I wish to set them free / And in the clarity of this night I make myself believe I can sleep easily alone / But there’s a hunger under my skin and it’s gripping at my bones / There’s a hunger like a lion’s and it’s ripping right through my bones.”

Also notable from the album includes “Bird Balloons,” which is loud and in-your-face as Spaltro spits venomous words of revenge and relationship drama. The opening single off the album, “Hair To The Ferris Wheel,” begins softly and erupts with an audacious guitar solo with vocals that are evanescent and as the piece concludes, it closes just as quiet as it opened.

After much critical acclaim, Spaltro began working on her sophomore album in 2014, now under the name of simply Lady Lamb. Spaltro ditched Ba Da Bing Records and signed with Mom + Pop Music, which allowed her to open up new opportunities in regards to publicity.

On March 3, Lady Lamb released “After,” a deeply emotional and reflective album that allows for both Spaltro and her audience to take a look back at her short but robust career. There’s a new sort of dimension to her musical styling as Spaltro builds on and enhances the themes of “Ripley Pine.”

“Vena Cava” opens the dramatic epic with an anger-fueled rant at her boyfriend, with whom she feels a growing rift. Spaltro spits, “And in your arms, I sleep so deeply / But I can feel how you will leave me / Even as you are still sitting here / Even as your mug of coffee steams / I can feel how the seams of your ribs / Will separate from the seams of my ribs / I know already how much TV / Will fail to comfort me in your absence.”

“Billions of Eyes” is the catchiest tune off “After,” emitting a pop-tinged rhythm that becomes infectious as the song progresses along with a subtle backing guitar. One can admire the ability that Spaltro has in ranging her vocals; from the tenderness of “Sunday Shoes and “Ten” to the audaciousness of “Spat Out Spit” and “Batter.” The album as a whole feels complete and allows for both fun and room for improvement in future releases.

Lady Lamb will tour this spring in support of “After” and will stop at The Space in Hamden, Conn. on Tuesday, May 12. Spaltro will be supported by Rathborne and Violent Mae. Doors will open at 8 p.m. with the show beginning at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available for only $12.
