RYAN BEATTY
LIVE IN LONDON AT ALEXANDRA PALACE
FRIDAY 19TH APRIL
TICKETS ON SALE AT 10AM ON FRIDAY 16TH FEBRUARY
This announcement kickstarts 2024 for Ryan, following a memorable 2023 which saw the release of his latest album, Calico. Beatty’s third full-length, Calico moves further into the free-form yet gracefully sculpted sound he explored on 2020’s Dreaming of David. In bringing the album to life, he and Gruska mainly recorded at historic L.A. spot Valentine Recording Studios and at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La, working with a lineup of musicians including guitarist Dylan Day (Jenny Lewis, Laura Veirs), drummer Matt Chamberlain (Lorde, Brandi Carlile), saxophonist Sam Gendel (Sylvan Esso, Perfume Genius), string arranger Rob Moose (FKA twigs, Laura Marling), and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, who contributed additional production and instrumentation.
“Through the process of making this album I felt like I was chasing a feeling of purity, something very unaffected,” says Beatty, naming the finespun avant-folk of Joni Mitchell’s Hejira and the stripped-bare folk-rock of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska among his touchstones for Calico.
