Indie folk singer-songwriter Tyler Edwards takes flight on his beautiful three track EP , ‘Sincerely, Montgomery’.
’Sincerely, Montgomery’ opens seeing Tyler Edwards’ clearly state his intentions for the record with ‘Don’t Rush Me’, a delicate, earthy track that moves at a leisurely pace, allowing his listener to fully absorb the gentle folk nuances of his instrumentation and the hushed delivery of his reflective storytelling. ‘Don’t Rush Me’ glides into blissful lead single, ‘Delta’, a plucky, acoustic driven track full of beautiful, nature-inspired imagery and uplifting melodies.
’Dancing Light’ rounds off the EP, opening with an affecting instrumental that sets an emotionally charged and aesthetically pleasing backdrop to Edwards’ brooding vocal. This is arguably Edwards’ most vulnerable and self-examining track on the EP as Edwards’ explores his own weaknesses and the ache of a failed relationship through folk-influenced, pop melodies.
Out now, Edwards’ self produced and recorded EP, ’Sincerely, Montgomery’ is a subtle in expansiveness, highly successful in its intention to impact hard with the human heart, and foreshadows the release of his second album, due out later this year.
