Boston-based singer-songwriter, musician and mental health advocate ryan john clary has just unveiled his sophomore album bandit.. With over a decade spent between performing, sessioning and shining solo, his music has steadily intertwined with a more personal mission, providing comfort through honest storytelling.
With emotionally grounded lyricism and an empathetic voice across his discography, bandit. cements his status, as his most focused and personal body of work to date.
This project is a cathartic release of frustration and grief, building to a sense of unshakeable hope. Stretching to the limits of indie-folk songwriting through expansive, intricately designed and intentionally delivered sonic tapestries, still making it feel authentic and raw.
From groove-laced foundations to stripped-back introspection, it’s an exploration of life’s chaos, taken with a sense of calm, forming sounds that are filled with a reassuring intimacy.
ryan adds, “This is the most disciplined and focused I’ve been making a record. I’m very proud of it and I hope it can bring people comfort during this hard time.”
‘bandit.’ is out now…
