Exclusive album premiere of ‘In The Same Room With A Cactus’ by Dylan Ryan, slated for release on April 15, 2025 via ears&eyes Records.

Dylan Ryan’s latest offering, ‘In The Same Room With A Cactus,’ is a striking journey through ambient, new age, and experimental soundscapes that feels very intimate as a secret diary scribbled in a sunlit Los Feliz apartment. Born from summer 2022 musings, the record was crafted at a humble kitchen table studio overlooking Franklin Ave, where an old Korg and a Rhythm Ace replaced traditional guitar riffs to unleash swirling layers of synthesizers, quirky guitars, and soulful sax by Nate Lepine.

Each track unfolds like a fragment of a dream—’Candelaria’ introduces looping chords that morph with every listen, while ‘Trees Dissolve’ weaves delicate dialogues between rhythm and silence. Featuring cuts like ‘Spice Garden,’ ‘Liaison,’ and ‘Orange Umbrella,’ the album’s diverse palette is anchored by Willie Blair’s electric bass and spontaneous percussion.
