Ryan Oyer brings his 40th birthday celebrations to Aldora Britain Records. This is his celebratory EP, the fantastic and timeless Worthy Of Love.
Worthy Of Love sees Oyer exploring his British songwriting influences. Names such as Noel Gallagher and John Power spring to mind as he crafts simple-yet-intricate compositions, revolving around infectious hooks and melody lines. However, it is Oyer's own interpretation, and so, these acoustic Brit rock inspirations are seamlessly fused with an Americana take on indie folk songwriting. As a final birthday treat, there is a full-band Bowie shaped gem as the closer. A fantastic four-track set in the vein of the maxi singles of the 90s!
For fans of John Lennon, Noel Gallagher, Dave Grohl, Jeff Tweedy, and Jon Fratelli.
Ryan Oyer: "Once I have a concept to go along with, my wheels start turning on those ideas and wondering where I can take it."
