A selection of the music that we are currently loving here at Ryder.

-Alela Diane- To be still

Beautiful hybridised folk from a Portland, Oregon  native with a spectacular voice.

-The Duke and the King – The Duke and the King

Hushed, deliberately paced acoustic music perfect for sitting around a fireplace. A compelling soulful folk record.

-Yeasayer – All Hour Cymbals

From NYC, a unique form of indie rock world music inspired by Byrne and Eno’s late 70’s rhythmic output mixed with ethereal pop harmonies.

-Chris Bell – I am the Cosmos

The only solo album  Chris Bell crafted before  his untimely death in 1978, Cosmos is a melancholic and poignant record of soft rock and power pop inspired by the Anglo-Pop of  The Beatles.

-Cass McCombs - Catacombs

Aurally hypnotic folk and bedroom pop with sparse arrangements and direct lyrics.

-Dark Was The Night – Compilation

A 31 song collection of folkie tunefulness from many of the heavy hitters of American Indie Music which benefits the Red Hot charity.

-The XX – XX

Slow, furtive electronic pop music strongly influenced by modern R&B.

-Miike Snow- Miike Snow

Low key, piano laden melancholy forms a set of dancefloor lullabies which are intelligent, satisfying and extremely listenable.

-Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix – Phoenix

A densely textured bricolage of pop rock with much emotional resonance from 4 frenchmen mining the American song idiom.

-Kitsune Tabloid – Selected by Phoenix

A mixtape-style compilation documenting some of the band’s influences, taking in a diverse set of artists from Roxy Music to The Impressions to Robert Wyatt & D’Angelo.
