THE B-SIDE
Ryn Weaver (Mad Love/Interscope)
3/13/15
WHAT IT IS: “Ryn’s music sounds like butterflies in your brain,” Benny Blanco says, “like if you took dope beats, mixed them with Joni Mitchell and Kate Bush and then attached it all to a bungee cord.” In Ryn’s songs you can hear the euphoric pulse and summer breeze of Blanco, and the giddy rush and dust-devil synth swirls of Angelakos. Drums pound like fists against the door in her single, “OctaHate,” a slow jam swing turned earthquake. When you listen, bear in mind you’re hearing her first take in a studio, ever. Listen more closely and you can hear what sound like drops of water in a tub. “‘OctaHate’ equals hate times eight,” the alternative electro-pop songstress says. Her birthday is the 222nd day of the year. Two times two times two is eight. Her debut EP was released on 8/8. Starting to see a pattern here?
