lofi shoegaze / shabby r&b memories

Elvin Ryan

Don't cry. It's ok to suffer.

Just try to do it to a good beat — and maybe get up and dance a little, badly, on purpose.

Bio

Elvin Ryan makes music like a memory you're not entirely sure happened. Fuzzed-out guitars left out in the rain, low late-night grooves borrowed from the R&B he grew up on, and a voice that sounds like it's apologizing and reassuring you at the same time.

He'll be the first to tell you he's not fine. He's also fairly sure you're not fine either, and he'd like that to be a comfort rather than a confession. Every song leaves a little more hopeful than it arrived, even when the first forty-five seconds suggest otherwise.

built to be sung along to, quietly, and danced to, a little badly, on purpose.
