William Fritch Ryan - Emptied Animal

2014 debut EP from the San Francisco-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. EMPTIED ANIMAL is an overture to the surrealist Psych-Folk of his LP LEAVE ME LIKE YOU FOUND ME. This 10 song EP, full of more music and ideas than most long playing records, is comprised of five new songs featuring his honeyed, expressive vocals over bold, panoramic orchestration and five equally sumptuous and engaging instrumental tracks all showcasing a unique sense of orchestration and texture. The breadth and scope of this album's instrumentation and arrangement belie the seemingly incomprehensible fact that every sound was played live, recorded, and mixed by Fritch in his home studio.
