Bristol-based artist Ryan McMurtry has caught our ears with a lush folk charm across two recent tracks, “Summer Rain” and “Full Picture.” Those efforts and the enveloping track “One More Night” comprise McMurtry’s Ashes EP, released today. Deriving inspiration from the psychedelic elements of soft-rock and classic folk, the EP stirs with a sound that proves impactful in both sparser acoustic-laden beauty and more expansive orchestration, like on the opening track “One More Night.”
A title-touting vocal proclamation stirs on “One More Night,” achieving a sweeping immersion with the initial array of strings and horns. The yearning lyricism, counting down the hours until one sees their beloved again, pairs with the orchestral-folk production for a moving success. Escalating horns past the one-minute turn add further to the inviting qualities, as the vocals emit having “one more dream,” and how “I missed you a lot.” “One More Night” is another fantastic entry from McMurtry, succeeding on all three tracks within the Ashes EP.
