UNDONE
THE NEW ALBUM IS OUT NOW
Press
“THE ABILITY TO SPEAK AS HONESTLY AS VAN DORDRECHT DOES ON THIS ALBUM REVEALS THE KIND OF MATURITY HE WAS HOPING TO EXPRESS.HE AIMED HIGH, AND SQUARELY HIT THE MARK.”
“UNDONE REUNITES HIM WITH HIS FORMATIVE FAVORITES, SUCH AS SPRINGSTEEN AND FLEETWOOD MAC, VIA MUSICAL INFLUENCES SUCH AS WAR ON DRUGS AND FATHER JOHN MISTY.”
“…RYAN’S ALREADY ILLUSTRIOUS CAREER, “UNDONE” IS NOT JUST AN ALBUM; IT’S A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME, A SONIC ODYSSEY THAT RESTORES THE 1970S AOR SENSIBILITY.”
“IT IS A LYRICAL ODYSSEY IN SOUND, A SHOWCASE OF RYAN'S EVOLUTION AS AN ARTIST AND A BEACON FOR THE FUTURE OF MUSIC.”
“A RETRO STYLE ADORNS RYAN VAN DORDRECHT’S EFFORTLESSLY COOL “UNDONE,” INDULGING IN A LIGHT PSYCHEDELIC SHEEN FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT. STYLISTICALLY, ELEMENTS OF CHAMBER COUNTRY, NOIR JAZZ, THE BLUES, AND CLASSIC ROCK WORK TOGETHER FOR THIS VAST REALM TO BECOME WHOLE. HIS VOCALS REST IN THE CENTER, SERVING AS THE ALBUM’S BEATING HEART. INSTRUMENTALLY, MANY KEYBOARDS, HORNS, AND GUITARS COME TOGETHER IN THIS COLORFUL DISPLAY. MELODIES WAFT THROUGH, TYING TOGETHER HIS LYRICISM’S MANY GROOVES AND THEMES. IT WORKS, RESULTING IN THIS SPINNING, CAREENING SOUND THAT FEELS ALIVE.”
