Andy was working as a janitor when he wasn't also working on his own Juno-nominated album, 2016's The Party. Darryl was establishing a teaching career and eventually a family.

It is nominated for alternative album of the year at the 2020 Juno Awards. “Type of Girl,” deals with self-acceptance and realizing there’s not a “type of girl” per se, rather that romantic expectations are imposed on women quite the opposite is “Trailer Park Cemetery,” where Rian sings of her fear of loneliness and wishing to be near the living, even in death.Foxwarren's self-titled album was released in November 2018. The opening track, “Type of Girl” and penultimate “Trailer Park Cemetery” are evocative of early Phoebe Bridgers – emotional vulnerability and sonic intimacy paint vivid pictures of Rian’s experiences and introspections. In the song, Rian tackles curiosity about others – where they’re going, why they’re rushing, if they’re okay – and wonders if other people think about those around them as much as she does.Ī music video and live performance for “Pontiac Vibe” are slated for release in the next few weeks, giving us a glimpse of the picture Rian has created with the song. The second song on the EP, “Pontiac Vibe”, builds in intensity during the bridge, and is such a switch from the soft beginning, which really sets it apart from the other tracks. Inspired by stories about Rian communicating with ghosts as a child, the title references both her childhood chatter and her present conversations with her past self, loved ones who have died, and ghosts in general. The EP deals with morality, loss, and nostalgia through four haunting and authentic songs. The singles are featured on Rian’s debut EP, Talking to Ghosts, which dropped July 16th. Featured on Tidal’s “Rising Folk” playlist and Apple Music’s “New in Country”, Rian’s range of influences is clear in her recent singles, allowing her music to be relevant just about anywhere. Influenced by her parents’ wide array of musical tastes, Rian cites artists from Radiohead to Hank Williams as sources of inspiration. Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Bridget Rian has been writing songs since she was 11 years old, and her years of dedication are obvious in her mature and vulnerable lyrics.
