"cause i gave it all and i just got nothing left to give..."
Nashville based Rye Golde has a voice crooning melodies that move you and pull you inside her folk indie / dream pop universe on her track "Places and the Times". Moving serenely on acoustic guitar and embracing bass lines that feel exquisitely organic she crafts a dense sound. You can hear, feel the string slides and squeaks which only adds to the natural beauty of her vocal lilt. Her vox are layered up in big and intimate ways, in hushes and big sustains. Other sounds and most especially, the sparkle of descending piano notes add a dream pop vastness and gives the entire affair a surreal patina.

Rye shares this about the track and what informs it:
"Written in a state of complete despair, this debut single emotes both hopelessness and surrender, symptoms of an ever-progressing codependency and substance-abuse spiral. About a year after its conception, I began recording this track as a newly sober person, seeking compassion for a younger self that was surviving with what she knew. Recorded and produced in the basement with my partner, artist Nate Nakshian, the creation of this record represents a year-long journey of coming home to myself."
"Places and the Times" is a stunning piece of textured work, glowing and burning like a long lost ember. I feel lucky to have found it, or it me.
