Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band, New Threats From the Soul 2025 Sophomore Lounge Records
A 100-word review of a new album by a singer-songwriter who packs in 100 words into a verse? Let's go. NTFTS is a dense soup of hickster literary tradition, echoes of Giant Sand, and easter egg cultural ephemera references.
Davis spins musical yarns that unravel and recombine with rustic-cosmic magical realism. Every listen reveals new sounds, turns o'phrase, and fuzzes out those deeper thoughts that have me screaming and begging for revolution from a barstool.
Only real heads will follow the Faulkner-esque Mutilation Springs/Falls song duology, so hang in there, recent converts to the 11-minute story-song.
Listen to it.
