His latest release, “Amos and Ohio” has been a huge success. Kyle has been featured on NPR’s “World Cafe” and opening across the country for Josh Rouse. Recently the NashVille Scene Magazine described his album as “simultaneously bright and melancholy”.
Find Love, Let Go is Kyle Andrews’ most mature collection of songs to date. It still has all the catchy, hook –laden ditties he is known for, but adds in more depth and character his sounds and lyrics showcasing the keen songwriter he has become.
Kyle Andrews’ previous album Amos in Ohio was originally released in Nashville in 2005 and later re-released by Badman Recording Co.; based on the strength of its songwriting and stick-to-your-brain catchiness. Following critical acclaim and Best of 2005 and 2006 accolades for his album, Kyle toured the U.S. including opening for Josh Rouse, Ari Hest and Peter Bjorn and John throughout this year. Consequently, his fan base grew tremendously in a very short time.
As his audience grew, a long term personal relationship he had while living in Philadelphia sunk. Kyle laments, “There was a point when I was asking myself ‘What can I fit in a carry-on to fly back to my home town of Nashville?’ It’s kind of like the CD artwork (on Find Love, Let Go) where you’ve got this guy trying to stay positive, smiling, as he is falling into the shark infested waters.”
Kyle recorded the album in his bedroom and in the living room of a friend’s house in Nashville. “Personally, these songs are where I am at right now. Lyrically and emotionally, it’s more focused. The songs on Amos in Ohio were written in a more reflective way and these are more in the moment of where my life is right now. It makes it a little more interesting through the rough and tumble of this last year. I don’t want to sound too heavy; it’s still just a pop record. “ says Kyle.
Kyle Andrews will be touring the U.S. throughout Fall 2007 and winter 2008.
Previous press for Kyle Andrews:
AMERICAN SONGWRITER:
“It’s records like Kyle Andrews Amos In Ohio when you thank god for technology.”
CHARTATTACK:
“Andrews is sensitive without being insufferable, personal but not pretentious, and experimental yet accessible.”
ALL THE RAGE:
“Not simply a singer-songwriter, Kyle Andrews is more a bedroom-rock Brian Wilson, constructing simple but instantly engaging pop with nothing more than a guitar, a Casio keyboard and some drum loops. Yet somehow this record never feels precious or pretentious, and only reveals its lo-fi roots when you really put it under the microscope.”
