Float Through a Rainbow River with The Dan Ryan's 'Tidewater Rain Love'

Today, new Austin-based experimental psych-folk project The Dan Ryan debuts "Tidewater Rain Love" via FLOOD Magazine. The song is the second official single from the upcoming self-titled LP, out May 27 via Cosmic Dreamer Music. The Dan Ryan LP will also be the first official release from the Venice, CA-based label.

Although it could have been plucked straight from the later era of The Beatles, "Tidewater Rain Love" is the most recent offering from the Austin-via-Chicago project of musician Nathan Dixey. Says Nathan, "'Tidewater Rain Love' is a song I wrote after touring France with my friend Jordan Geiger's group Hospital Ships and later traveling to California with my girlfriend. At that time, I felt a great sense of liberation; a shift in perspective from weathering a great storm to opening myself up to new people and places, ideas and feelings. A liberation and sense of limitlessness emerged from those trips." Indeed, a sonic sense of limitlessness also shines through the reverb-effect guitar lines, dreamy echoed vocals, and expansive production.

Formed in 2011 as a side project in Lawrence, KS, The Dan Ryan is now based in Austin, TX, where the debut LP was home-recorded between December 2013 to July 2014. Psychedelic and deeply personal, these songs bear a chapter of change and evoke the fleeting nature of one's perspective on life.

The Dan Ryan LP will also be the first release from new record label Cosmic Dreamer Music, based in Venice, CA. Cosmic Dreamer is a platform for artistic expression. Founded by visual artists who play music, the label believes in the power of connecting with others through sight, sound, and experience. The Dan Ryan LP will be available on May 27.
