EXCLUSIVE: Full stream of new Matthew Ryan LP
By: Thomas Hannan
Over the past ten years, Matthew Ryan has released 11 albums of deftly brilliant lo-fi Americana. For his newest effort, Matthew Ryan vs. the Silver State, he and his band (pictured) recorded every single one of the tracks live, the bravest way possible one can let the music do the talking in these days of ProTools and post production. Released on Bjork's label, One Little Indian, his is a soulful, subtle and searching record, full of existential ponderings and political and spiritual awakenings. And we're the only site who've got the whole damn thing to stream. Have a listen below:
