Great performance from the Black Ryder live at Austin Psych Festival taken from the DVD “Live At The Power Plant” we can expect to be hearing a lot about Australian Rhinestone Droners, The Black Ryder.
The duo, Aimee Nash and Scott Van Ryper, have stayed true to their art on their latest album and picked up from where they left off on their debut record, not succumbing to their new Hollywood surroundings as other artists have in the past. They have a new album out now ,”The Door Behind The Door” continues the dreamy cinematic nature that was established in the band’s debut album, “Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride”, and keeps their ethereal musical perspectives alive through the forces of reverb and guitar effects on songs such as ‘Seventh Moon’ and ‘The Going Up Was Worth The Coming Down’.
The bands talent at creating beautiful songs, even without vocals. a much darker feel and a sense of loss and mourning for something that we do not know exactly what we’re mourning for. The Black Ryder have a knack for creating slow-building songs, leading to anthemic choruses and lasting outros and this is demonstrated on every vocal track on the new album. Whether it be by adding a choir of backing vocals, or adding extra keyboard, The Black Ryder certainly know how to attain an epic conclusion to a song.
