Description
Following his acclaimed 2018 debut album Running, Melbourne s Ryan Downey returns with a new luminous art-rock album A TON OF COLOURS out Friday 14 May via Dot Dash Recordings. Downey s sound is a vibrant affair musically, stylistically, and vocally. His astonishing voice often raises comparisons to the all-terrain vocals of Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, whilst his give-all performance style is inspired by artists he describes as offering an expression from a deep human place such as Kate Bush, Karen O and David Byrne. On record, Downey s drama-filled, spirited songs are vivid and playful but with a raw sophistication, in part courtesy of producer Burke Reid (Courtney Barrett, Julia Jacklin), with an electrifying heft, depth and genuine emotion that nods to contemporaries re-defining the guitar record, such as Anna Calvi and Big Thief. First single Heart Is An Onion is a surreal, existential roller coaster ride towards hope and compassion. As Downey explains, it s about empathy and looking into each other s human layers, seeing that we all have the same clunky, miraculous hearts underneath and finding resilience and magic in that connection. The track s bold, saturated sounds are steered by Downey s determined yet vulnerable vocal performance.
