Bay Bryan’s new single 'Sticky Shadows' is a rhythmically charged Americana/indie-folk song featuring an intricate & unique sound that feels similar to artists like Nick Drake, Anaïs Mitchell and Mumford & Sons. Bay’s vocals are reminiscent of Laura Marling, carrying with them strong lyrical content that beautifully conveys a personal inner-struggle as well as a yearning to somehow transcend that struggle. The instrumentation is intriguing and fresh with a stand-out bass clarinet part played characterfully by Fraser Langton of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. The sonics of the song remain mainly acoustic with the exception of a few well-placed and haunting synth textures.
