Release Notes:
--------
Singer, Songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Ryan has announced an
October 30th release date for his 15th album In The Dusk Of Everything.  The
recording marks a distilled reclamation of his more primal Americana/Folk roots.
The timelessly modern and spare qualities of the dozen songs move with an earthy
cinema where the vocals live front and center, while the music ebbs and flows
like stark scenery in a grainy but saturated film. It is a folky mood record
that distills the universal story of two people seeking redemptive shelter amid
the violence, beauty and uncertainty that life brings. It moves with that always
fascinating voice that just keeps imploring listeners to walk with him into ever
stranger and more compellingly honest spaces. These songs bear witness to an
artist that continues to evolve, search and delivFor a sneak peak:
http://youtu.be/kQWRe2x4lv0

In the Dusk of Everything is the final part of a trilogy that started in 2010
with Dear Lover.  That album was the singer-songwriter's exploration of some
very private events that cracked him wide open and served as a catalyst to
change how he viewed the world and himself.  That journey continued with I
Recall Standing as Though Nothing Could Fall which unloaded an epic and
unflinching look at the world outside. And now, with In the Dusk of Everything,
Ryan offers a profoundly quiet and cinematic sense of closure where listeners
are invited to step into a filmic collection of vignettes that lean towards
redemptive unity.  He shares, ôI wanted to make a modern folk record.  I wanted
it to feel like an autumnal film where each song waltzed into the next, where
the story unfolded without any bluster other than what happens in the story. The
songs were all written from different perspectives, from male to female,
sometimes in the same verse. It was the only way that I felt I could really get
to the root of what happens between men and women in their wrestling with
mortality, the mortality of dreams, intimacy, despair and trust. Again, together
and alone, thereÆs a responsibility we have to the future and real love with all
its darkness at times. I feel a bigger story is being told through this
seemingly small lens.ö

Over the years Ryan has been celebrated for his poetic lyricism. His work
challenges listeners in so many ways, always cutting to the bone with a rare
honesty that isnÆt prone to offer easy answers. And sonically, his production
choices have followed suit.  It's as if his voice and words offers the scene
while the music offers the weather. The minimalist folk on In the Dusk of
Everything is as intimate, direct, and raw as he has ever been, where the spare
keyboards in the arrangements are a perfect and moody grey like the East Berlin
skies of Wim WenderÆs Wings of Desire and the pacing is so beautifully
purposeful it feels like the aural cousin of Dennis LehaneÆs Mystic River.
Pianos, organs, strings,  and other instruments make appearances throughout, but
the overwhelming sense of the record is that the singer went to the studio, sat
down with a guitar, and just opened a vein.

ItÆs almost as if too much ornamentation might overshadow the words, and itÆs so
important to Ryan that we hear what heÆs saying. The songwriter can turn a
clever phrase as well as anyone, but some of his most profound moments come when
heÆs just trying to cut through all the noise to find a distilled truth.  As in
ôStupid Worldö where he concludes:

ôSome suffer a blindness
Of wild disappointment
Despite good intentions

I showed her my scars then
She showed me her bruises
YouÆre someoneÆs salvation
In a stupid worldö

In many ways, In the Dusk of Everything brings Matthew Ryan to a moment of fully
realized vision.  He has returned to his creative origin by collaborating again
with Producer David Ricketts, who was behind the board for his debut May Day.
Ryan offers, ôWe were looking to create a very wide but honest music here.
Sonically, I wanted to define a space between American Folk Music, Neil Young
and say the ambient minimalism of Brian Eno and Arvo Part.ö
