Pink Pills is the work of one Edinburgh musician, by the name of Ryan Gallagher. He got in touch with me a couple of months ago to introduce me to his stuff, which I listened to and thought was -and still think is -great, and to my eternal shame, didn’t write about until now. Many apologies, Ryan.
Ryan talks about his work being coherent together and he is absolutely right. So far he has produced the excellent six track EP Past Mirrors Future Pictures and at the start of April released the pretty bloody fantastic Concrete Heartbeat. It really does flow as an album, with an excellent use of samples, great lyrics and tunes. There’s been one musician wizards before, many of them, but this is a guy who actually deserves your attention and doesn’t whine like C*n*r *b*rst. And on songs like ‘Four Flashes’ moves you quite considerably…
Let’s face it – how could you not love someone who describes their music as sounding like ‘dylan’s jacket on the cover of highway 61 revisited. at least that’s the sound i’m aiming for.’ Sheer class, the man and his music.
