RYD announces new EP with lead single "Unattended"

"Unattended" is RYD's seconnd release of the year, after covering Eagles' "Take It To The Limit" in February.

RYD explains that the new song is about the "fear of taking the first step to make a declaration of sincere affection".

Sleep will be RYD's first collection of tracks since releasing his self-titled debut album in 2019.

The EP, which RYD has spent over a year creating, will be accompanied by a self-developed iOS app, which will allow users to loop and experiment with music from his Sleep EP.

RYD, real name Ryan Downie, says, "A bedroom is a place where you generally feel safe and have no outside judgement looming, a paradise for introverts. Each item in the room triggers a different stem from the "(now I’m losing)" track, an intro to "Sleep" on the forthcoming EP. The initial tracks are a significant build-up of emotions, the introduction of different sounds and vocals coming as new thoughts that meld into one. All items in the room trigger different connotations and sentiments, of thoughts playing together in harmony like a stream of consciousness we can effortlessly converse with ourselves, moving from one unrelated thing to another whilst all seeming so natural."
