WRYT is a band from Washington D.C. that recently released a two-song self-titled EP WRYT. The songs are a mix between pop and rock.
The first song “Ivory Tower” starts with strummed major and minor chords and vocals. Drums and other instrumentation comes in around thirty seconds.The vibe feels large like a song that could feel an arena. As the song progresses it gets more intense and feels like a single worthy song you might hear on the radio. The song does a good job building energy and eventually has nowhere else to go but down with guitar and vocals. There are no surprises as the song unfolds but it’s delivered well and it is a song that I can picture a lot of people singing in the shower. The melodies are familiar. Next up is “Milk & Honey” and it is more pensive, moody, cerebral and melancholy. The song begins with warm picked guitar, a straightforward beat and emotive vocals. A little before the two-minute mark the song gets some bass and drums and is definitely a killer groove. I especially enjoyed the bass work on this track which sounded really good against the guitar. Similar to the last song this song builds and builds like one big crescendo. I was a little surprised how epic the song tries to become around the four-minute mark. The production of these songs sounded great. All the instrumentation had clarity and I thought the use of compression was well implemented to control the dynamics of the song. These songs felt like a solid introduction to the artist. The vibe felt more pop oriented and I thought the artist did a good job at making accessible songs that a broad demographic might appreciate. Overall, this was a solid two-song release and I look forward to hearing where the artist goes from here.
