Rainn Byrns New In Town CD

Texas-born, Swindon-bred, South Londoner Rainn Byrns is no stranger to the independent music press having enjoyed coverage in the line of best fit, DIY mag, dork, so young, hard of hearing, and the guardian for his recent singles and country living EP. With the build-up to his debut album new in town, BBC 6music’s steve Lamacq, Amazing Radio, and Radio X’s new music guru John Kennedy have all been playing tracks from it (+ John Kennedy has invited Rainn on to his x-posure show for a session and interview during the week of release). Rainn’s innate talent for writing from the heart with total honesty shines bright on the album through a collection of indie lo-fi future classics, jam-packed with melodies and a tasteful bedroom-pop sensibility. Tinges of Americana, inspired by his early years growing up in texas can be heard throughout and combined with Rainn’s on-the-nose lyrical delivery, make this an exciting debut long player from an artist brimming with talent and potential.
