Like all the best concept albums, <\/span>A Ride<\/span><\/i><\/strong> takes you on a journey. This one concerns the last three days of an American runaway\u2019s life. Part road-trip, part engrossing mystery, part search for redemption, it\u2019s the fictional tale of a troubled man whose past comes back to haunt him.\u00a0<\/span>Via eleven intimate, chronologically-sequenced songs, we travel with him. There are epiphanies and dream sequences, drunken dive-bar nights and chats with Jesus and Lucifer. As the narrator battles with his dark side, it is ultimately we, the listeners, who must weigh-up and flesh-out his story.<\/p>\n

The origins of <\/span>A Ride<\/span><\/i><\/strong> go back to 2015. On tour on the US, Phill Reynolds<\/strong>, AKA Italian alt-country singer-songwriter Silva Martino Cantele<\/span>,\u00a0took in the shifting landscapes, the people he met and their stories. All of this fed into the album he recorded at the all-analogue TUP Studio in Brescia, near Milan. Reynolds played almost all of the instruments himself and co-produced A Ride<\/i> with long-term collaborator Bruno Barcella.<\/span><\/p>\n

Available on all digital platforms from today May 27th, following the first excerpt This Isn’t Me<\/em>, the brand new new single The Fault Is Mine<\/strong><\/em> is the moment of rebirth of the main character of this story: Banjo, Fender Rhodes and glistening slide guitar<\/span>\u00a0all feature as Reynolds delivers haunting confessionals<\/span>, to appeal to fans of artists such as Damien Jurado, Strand Of Oaks or For Emma, Forever Ago<\/i>-era Bon Iver<\/span>. Then, the song lets in an ethereal light in an epic crescendo, guided by the harmonica and punctuated by a bass drum rhythm on which the voice rises in a vigorous auto da f\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long an inhabitant of picturesque Italian towns in the Vicenza province, <\/span>Phill Reynolds<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0was only five when The Beach Boys\u2019 Barbara Ann<\/i> worked its magic upon him via the radio. Later a fan of \u201890s Californian punk bands, Reynolds was writing and performing in his own post-hardcore bands by 13, but didn\u2019t make it to the nearest big city, Milan, until he was 19.\u00a0<\/span>Bands still matter deeply to him. <\/span>But his love for folk music<\/strong> has deepened over the last decade or so, hence his solo act alter-ego.\u00a0<\/span>Where did the name Phill Reynolds come from? “Everybody asks me this,<\/em>\u201d he smiles. \u201cEspecially in the UK.<\/em> <\/span>The truth is I needed an alternative name for a gig I was doing, and at the time I was in love with the music of Phil Ochs and Malvina Reynolds. Malvina Ochs didn\u2019t sound too good to me, so I became Phill Reynolds, and I like that, because it sounds like a normal person<\/em>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The esteemed Italian label Bronson Recordings<\/strong> will release his fourth solo album A Ride<\/i><\/strong> on June 17th, 2022<\/strong>, on CD, vinyl and digital.\u00a0<\/span>A Ride <\/span><\/i>is the most ambitious and fully-realised Phill Reynolds album to date. He was assisted by Stefano Pilia (lead guitar on Dive Bar Oblivion<\/i>), IOSONOUNCANE (backing vocals, synth, bass and field recordings on World On Fire<\/i>), and C+C=Maxigross (bass, drums and backing vocals on In The Dark<\/i>).\u00a0<\/span>The record<\/span>\u2019s story is a dark one, but not one without hope. \u201cEvery end is a new beginning<\/em>\u201d, says Reynolds. \u201cOne of the main themes here is that life can be a sort of trap unless you recognise your own demons and try to deal with him. So we must be prepared and try to live well<\/em>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
