Claiming classic influences that run the gamut from Neil Young’s Harvest to the Who’s Who’s Next, Brett Ryan Stewart carves an enviable imprint on this sterling debut. Stewart’s music navigates a road atlas of emotions, from the insistent pulse of opener “Yet Again (Politic)” to the half-whispered drift of “Needle & Spoon” to the nocturnal deliberation of “Closer.” Even within a single song, he reveals an ability to temper cloaked ruminations with sheer elation, as manifest in the sweeping refrain of “Don’t You Ever.”
Lyrically, Stewart is equally agile. “I’m reaching out so I don’t cave in,” he declares on “Appalachian Heartache.” It’s a supple twist of wordplay from a talent worth watching.
