RYAN HEMSWORTH + LUCAS RELEASE TAKING FLIGHT EP ON SECRET SONGS
Press release provided by Indoor Recess Inc.
- - -
Today, Ryan Hemsworth and Lucas release their collaborative EP,
Taking
Flight. The EP, which is being released
via Ryan's Secret Songs, is the first body of his own work that he has
released on the label. Secret Songs has
become an online home for celebrating friends' art, and a place for
highlighting under-heard voices in music. Free downloads,
friends only, bi-weekly. It's actually how Lucas and
Ryan first worked together – Lucas released his song Keep U Warm as Secret Songs 008. The two took their creative partnership
to the next level after bonding over their similar tastes in soundscapes and
textures.
Along with the release of his EP, Ryan is also announcing the first
run of Secret Songs merchandise, which will be available via the Secret Songs
website and can be previewed below. The first drop includes a hat, tote,
short sleeve t-shirt, and a pin. Ryan will be selling the merch at the very
first Secret Songs CMJ showcase next week during the CMJ Music Marathon. The
showcase will feature a special Ryan Hemsworth & Lucas set along with
sets by Lontalius and dd elle and will take place at Palisades in Brooklyn on
October 16th.
Taking Flight is now available for free and via digital retailers. Check the
Secret Songs merch, previous Secret Songs releases, full Taking
Flight information, and learn more about
Ryan's collaborator Lucas below.

More about Lucas:
Lucas is an emerging artist currently residing in Seattle, Washington.
Active since 2013, he has released via outlets such as Secret Songs, and Live
for the Funk. Drawing inspiration from ambient music, scavenged sounds, and
modern hip hop production, Lucas strives to achieve a unique, yet
approachable sound in an increasingly competitive musical landscape. Sampling
is key and nothing is off limits; he spends hours digging around websites and
obscure Youtube videos, searching for an interesting vocal clip or percussive
sample. Lucas then uses these sounds in his productions, combining them with
his own library of drum samples and instruments. As a result, his music often
sounds ethereal and textured, with a healthy backbone of 808 kicks and crisp
snares.
