Exploring deserted textures and intent of 70’s Laurel Canyon songwriters, Ryan Martin John is an introvert with a deep love of songwriting and pondering. Folky with a notable country flair, Ryan’s sonic spectrum ranges from a dynamic, intimate hush when solo to a harmony-gilded, guitar-laden fanfare when playing with his full band. As well as a songwriter, Ryan is an award-winning recording engineer and has solely shaped all of his studio releases thus far, as well as collaborating with countless acts in both Adelaide and Melbourne (Australia).
There’s just so much sonically pleasing about Ryan Martin John’s Newest release “I’ve Been Waiting” that it’s no surprise to find out that he’s even better known as a recording engineer. From the simplistic, tight drumming to the bold thumping bass and tremolo heavy guitar; the backing track will hold you in tight to his melancholic lyricism. When the chorus comes around and the harmonists join his falsetto refrain of “I’ve been waiting” you’ll be whisked away on the dreamy lo-fi vibes. Another wonderfully inventive and perfectly familiar track from an indie Australian artist.
