Ryan Chernin “Ashtray Kisses” off his debut album “You Know Who You Are”
Folk focused, with a contemporary indie rock core inspired by the sounds of the 60s and 70s, singer/songwriter Ryan Chernin presents a collection of songs from his debut album, “You Know Who You Are.” In his current run of intimate, stripped down live sets, enjoy some good old fashioned storytelling infused with the tonal stylings of the new analog age.
“You Know Who You Are” is the culmination of a year’s worth of work in and out of the studio, a sultry collection of songs about life, love, and loss. “What was most important to us was to take our time with it and really make sure it was perfect every step of the way,” Chernin explains. “It was about selecting the right people.” That list of people includes producer John Eugenio, mixer Chris Davies, SNL guitarist Jared Scharff, and renowned bassist James Genus. The result is a maturity and depth that takes most artists years to capture, with Chernin’s quick wit and caustic sense of humor complimenting his raw indie rock sound. ”
The rest of the EP is an excellent blend of classic rock and country, and through an assortment of six songs, both acoustic and not, Chernin’s voice is layered over simple-yet-captivating guitar tracks.
