In 2023, The Missing Leech released Mencions honorífiques on El Mamut Traçut.[4] Ribera played the guitar, keyboard and sang on the album. He was supported by Lluís Sylvestre on guitar, bass and keyboard, and by Amós Pérez on drums. The album was made "in honor of those second-tier artists who may never manage to position themselves at the forefront, but who feel an authentic love for music."[5]
