For the better part of the last decade, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Bourne has been one of western Canada’s most in-demand players and collaborators, logging major hours onstage and in the studio with the likes of Chad Van Gaalen, Ghostkeeper, Jon McKiel, Lab Coast, and Sleepkit. Now, nearly a decade since his last critically-acclaimed solo album, Bourne is back with Plant City, his latest collection of lush, psych-laden songcraft. Co-produced by Chad Van Gaalen (Sub Pop recording artist and acclaimed animator) and Chris Dadge (Alvvays, Lab Coast), its 12 songs include idiosyncratic takes on garage pop, glammed-out rock cruisers, baroque pop, and dark psych-folk, conjuring a tasty blend of contemporary movers like Tim Presley and Drugdealer with classic purveyors like early McCartney and Brian Wilson. With Plant City, Bourne will easily cement his status as one of the most adventurous sonic architects and affecting songwriters out there.
