P.P. Rebel – Devotee (Oxblood Vinyl)

P.P. Rebel is the harmonium-led, spiritually inspired project of Paris Rebel Richens, who has been making all kinds of extraordinary sounds over the past fifteen years and has more recently found a new direction through the spiritual path of Kriya Yoga. Largely inspired by Paramahansa Yogananda’s spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, Paris began studying the Self-Realization Fellowship teachings in 2020, before becoming a Kriya Yogi (Kriyaban) and disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda in 2021. Kriya Yoga is an ancient meditation technique traditionally learnt under the guidance of a guru, and Paris describes it as having deeply altered her perceptions and way of thinking — something that naturally finds expression in P.P. Rebel’s lyrics and themes.
