| Ryn - Coincide EP |
Release Date: Out Now
As a follow up to her previous
‘Confide EP’, Exeter singer-songwriter Ryn has brought out another five track collection
of songs under the title the ‘Coincide EP’ which makes me think the next
release will be the ‘Collide EP’ if you’re following a pattern. Opening with
‘In Woods’ you are immediately transported to a cosy space warmed by burning
logs while frost crystallises on every surface outside. The warm rolling guitar
notes and sprinkled piano notes are pure bliss and Ryn’s voice wafts throughout
the song like the delicate scent of a recently lit candle. ‘Sure’ is a more
subtle affair with brooding guitar notes nudging the song along, only to be
sliced by the occasional swoosh of bow on string and the gorgeous lines of
lyrics like “pocketing pebbles like good intentions”. Ryn is pitched somewhere
between Laura Marling and Zoe Johnston but with the spirit of the Indigo Girls
at their most tender and provocative behind the lyrics.
On ‘Human Animal’ things take a
turn towards the more subdued side of things but if you’ve got a penchant for
the introspective and gentle side of music then this will be like a flame to
your aural moth. The gentle theme continues on ‘Water Bird’ as does the
autumnal vibe and the excellent vocal performance and delicate guitar notes. By
the time ‘How This Seems’ closes this EP with its Parisian vibe and breathy
vocals, you are left under no illusion that Ryn’s aim on this collection is to soothe,
provoke thought and lose you in a world of the introspective minutiae of this
world. And that’s all good but if I had one request for the next EP it would be
to let loose on those vocal chords and give us a couple of numbers that we can
really sing along to in the car.
