Big Colors

Ryan Adams

Shimmering eighties-influenced rock drenched in chorus and neon nostalgia. A collection of melodic anthems for rain-slicked streets and fading summer nights.

It sounds like a lost John Hughes soundtrack if it were written by a heartbroken alt-country king.

A vibrant, neon-lit exploration of nostalgia that feels both expansive and deeply lonely.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, chorus-heavy guitar solo on the title track that feels like a lost 1985 radio hit.
The transition into the bridge of 'Fuck the Rain' where the production opens up into a wide, reverb-soaked vista.
The way the drums hit with a dry, punchy snap on 'Manchester' against the swirling vocal harmonies.
