Following his acclaimed 2018 debut album Running, Melbourne’s Ryan Downey returns with a new luminous art-rock album A TON OF COLOURS on Dot Dash Recordings.Downey’s sound is a vibrant affair -musically, stylistically, and vocally. His aston-ishing voice often raises comparisons to the all-terrain vocals of Bryan Ferry and David Bowie, whilst his give-all performance style is inspired by artists he describes as “offering an expression from a deep human place” such as Kate Bush, Karen O and David Byrne.On record, Downey’s drama-filled, spirited songs are vivid and playful but with a raw sophistication, in part courtesy of producer Burke Reid (Courtney Barrett, Julia Jacklin), with an electrifying heft, depth and genuine emotion that nods to contemporaries re-defining the guitar record, such as Anna Calvi and Big Thief.
