about

Semblance is the 2+ hour, double disc mega-full length debut from YEARS, aka multi-instrumentalist Ryan Parrish. Somehow, some way, in between touring the world many times over annually (behind the drum kit for DARKEST HOUR, SUPPRESSION, GHASTLY CITY SLEEP, HIGHNESS, BLEACH EVERYTHING, IRON REAGAN, etc.), Parrish creates the time in private to both create and explore a sonically-textured, mood-driven world far removed from the entropic chaos of daily life.

Semblance is 24 tracks (12 on each disc) of full immersion into the melodic and near-meditative id of its creator. Glacially paced and deliberate, the album is much more of a linear journey than a traditional collection of songs, striking somewhere around the sweet spot of SIGUR RÓS’ emotional pitch and GROWING’s exploratory and child-like sonic ambition. It is truly an album that reveals new layers upon each listen.
