"Testify" from R.D. Macnab's self titled album is folk core full of wanderlust and sweetly sad reveals

AP Track Review

Testify by R.D. Macnab is a sweet and lazy slow drip of a song. I mean lazy in the best possible way. In the way, you slow down your bodies system, your head and heart and feel all the love you can muster up in the world which is hard to do when you are bombarded with all the world's mania. The song gleefully floats on Macnab's wanderlusty vocals, a sweet paced tempo with garden rock affections. I am lazy here listening and just catching all the images this song conjures up, like the empowerment of youth and riding waves at Huntington. 

Testify is from R.D. Macnab's recently released Self Titled album (Jan. 1, 2020).

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
R.D. Macnab has been crafting his unique sonic perspective for close to 8 years, living in three different cities in Canada, performing small gigs in many bars and working countless odd jobs. He’s an introspective lyricist putting a fresh sound to the table; blending atmospheric rock, psych and folk along with many other influences seeping through the imperfect cracks of the songs he pieces together.

R.D also sings and plays guitar in a Vancouver psych rock sextet TANGLERS, who released their debut album titled “Tangled In Time” last spring. His solo projects are more personal both lyrically and musically…...he writes and plays every instrument on the album, including in this first release "Testify". It's a dreamy tune reflecting on life and death and the inner turmoil that one can experience. The music is intimate at times and explosive at others. He can be compared to artists such as Wilco, Sam Cohen, Kevin Morby and Sam Evian.
