about

New York’s far-reaching drummer Ryan Sawyer releases his debut solo LP, a unique collection of percussion-led cover songs, Your Heart Will Be Your Skin through Shahzad Ismaily’s figureight records in July 2020.

Years of peerage in underground and jazz scenes with enormously high-grade collaborators has informed Ryan’s performance and arrangements, helping to shape the output of a supremely talented musician into a rare channel of vast textures, dynamics and moods formed from drumkit alone. Ryan has played alongside Marshall Allen, Boredoms, Thurston Moore, TV On The Radio, Gang Gang Dance, Nick Zinner, Rhys Chatham among countless others. He joined a fledgling At The Drive-In as a teenager and played on their debut LP Acrobatic Tenement. He also writes and performs for dance and other extra-disciplinary forms, including Anna Sperber’s acclaimed ballet Prize, performed in NYC in 2016.

Covering material as diverse as Devo, Chuck Berry, Sonic Youth, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young and several more - and tackling these new arrangements with just as broad a delivery - One Day Your Heart Will Be Your Skin acts as a reformed American songbook. It roots out the experimental, innovative personalities of its source material, and wears its heart externally, openly.
