'Running' is the debut LP by Melbourne artist Ryan Downey, out April 13 via Barely Dressed Records. Following on from a sold-out Melbourne single launch in March, Ryan will play with a full band at the Northcote Social Club on Thursday May 17 to celebrate the album's release.
Whether it's sorrow with satisfaction, or earnestness with innuendo, parallels continuously meet and entwine throughout Running's perfect combination of indie folk, pop and rock. The defining feature of Ryan's music is his voice; a jaw-dropping amalgamation of Leonard Cohen and a spirited Bill Callahan by way of a mid-century crooner. The record is a glorious and perfectly constructed 21st century folk gem, and not a note detracts from Downey’s rich baritone as he sings a song cycle of humour and pathos, self-analysis, sex, love and modern life. Produced by Steve Hassett (Luluc) and recorded in both New York and Melbourne, Running reveals Ryan Downey as a timeless talent.
