LIFE ON EARTH made NPR Music’s list of The 10 Best Rock Albums of 2022. “Its eleven tracks of ‘nature punk’ are sharply constructed and deeply felt,” writes NPR’s Marissa Lorusso, “finding hope in the power of compassion and the fundamental interconnectedness of all living things.” NPR Music’s Ann Powers includes the album on her list of The 20 Best Albums of 2022, saying: “LIFE ON EARTH sounds like what Segarra describes as ‘nature punk’—cosmic in feel, anthemic in reach.”
