Dear Friends,
Hi there! I hope you're having a beautiful July so far! It's been a busy but wonderful one over here. I'm writing to tell you about a couple things...
New Song: Believe
My new Atlas song Believe is now available for Letters subscribers.
Believe is the eleventh song in my twenty five-song Atlas: III project and is the sibling song to Doubt.
Both Believe and Doubt are folk songs that examine my faith, which is one of my favorite things to write and think about. I recorded Believe with as little fuss as possible: one microphone in the middle of my daughters' messy play room and recorded live. (The opposite approach I took in recording of Doubt, recorded at the stunning Union Chapel with the help of Abbey Road veteran engineer Gordon Davidson). The idea was to record these two songs about faith with both sacred carefulness and messy realness.
The public release for Believe is on August 1. Stunning song art painted by the brilliant, Elicia Edijanto!
New Merch Available Now
I am pleased to share two new merch items now available in my online store! Sessions 7" Vinyl features acoustic versions of Turning Page and Saturn recorded live at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. This is a very limited pressing and each copy is signed!
AND for anyone who missed out, we now have the commemorative t-shirt from my show at Royal Albert Hall a couple months back!
I so hope you enjoy Believe! Thank you for the gift and opportunity to share it with you!
Huge love, Ryan
