Reportedly, Ryland Bouchard started (and has maintained) The Robert Ate Me partially under the reasonable suspicion that people don’t like disruptions to a pattern. “People expect a folk singer to consistently release folk music,” he remarked in a semi-recent interview. So, as a preemption to listeners trippin’ in a manner similar to that kid infamously doing yoga in the wind (which I didn’t realize had anything to do with yoga, initially), Bouchard has beneficently made things easy for everyone by developing an extra-RAM project dedicated to his even-folkier-than-RAM musical meanderings. And to make things even easier, Bouchard has named that project “Ryland Bouchard,” the name that (presumably) adorns his birth certificate!
Accordingly, here comes Whalers, a brand new album of intimate, no-frills folk pop. It’s available right here, right now, courtesy of his own label, Swim Slowly Records; but you can also stream this awesomely calm, nine-track affair by heading to his Bandcamp or via the player down below. It’s pretty much guaranteed to resolve cases of high blood pressure world- (if not universe-) wide.
