STREAM: Delaney Ramsdell, ‘Rambler’

Artist: Delaney Ramsdell
Hometown: Roosevelt, Texas
Album: Rambler EP
Release Date: November 2, 2023
Label: North Llano Records

In Their Words: Rambler is a full spectrum look at my life as a writer. From the dark, smoky moments from ‘Withdrawal’ and ‘Carry the Load’ to the forlorn prayers of ‘Kitchen Window’ and ‘Any Good Wife,’ this project covers every corner of my heart. I wanted to make sure that every piece of this record spoke to the rambler in all of us – the travel, the heartbreak, the fun, and the authenticity life brings as we make our way through the world.

“I hope the listener is able to journey down the roads I walked with these songs when I wrote them, and I hope they are able to pave their own way with them as well. The songs are cut and dry and they speak for themselves, but Rambler is my first real venture out into the world as an artist and I’m grateful for the space and chance to have worked with a great team of writers, producers, and players who helped me realize this dream.” – Delaney Ramsdell

Release Date: October 27, 2023

In Their Words: “The songs on this EP have been on the road with me for the past two years. I wrote in Ireland and Germany, tracked demos in Thailand, and recorded in my hometown of New York City. I’ve gotten to play them for audiences in Lisbon, Los Angeles, and London, and alongside different musicians from around the world. These songs are my souvenirs from the last two years. This EP is a scrapbook of the people, places, and sounds that have left a mark on me during this period. They’ve been around the world with me, and now they’re out in the world for everyone else to hear.” – Claire Hawkins
