RYAN, DYLAN (WITH SAND) Sky Bleached
Description
Featuring his volatile trio Sand, 'Sky Bleached' is Dylan Ryan's debut album under his own name, but the insistently exploratory drummer isn't making a first impression. A bandstand veteran who's spent the past decade collaborating with an array of galvanizing musicians across a wide array of creative scenes, he's probably best known as the catalyst behind the pugnacious prog-jazz sextet Herculaneum. A key force in the avant-rock project Icy Demons, and half of the psychedelic electronica power duo Michael Columbia, the Chicago-raised Ryan has also toured with Omaha indie rock legends Cursive and regularly works with Los Angeles electro-world-pop outfit Rainbow Arabia. Boasting a sonic vision that stretches to the far horizon, 'Sky Bleached' draws on many of Ryan's varied experiences, but Sand instantly establishes itself as wild and wooly creature in its own right.
For this project Dylan recruited fellow Angelenos Devin Hoff (Nels Cline Singers, Xiu Xiu, Mike Watt, Joshua Redman) on bass and Timothy Young (John Zorn, Fiona Apple, Beck, Mike Patton) on guitar.
