Rick Royale’s trash and jangle, Americana combines the California cool of Tom Petty or The Byrds with the Rock ‘n’ Roll heart of Lou Reed’s Velvet Underground and the melodic, pop sensitivity of The Shins . Constantly pushing towards the future while never failing to recall the past...

AT THE END OF SUNSET…

Rick Royale has built his reputation on writing pop-poetry. Songs that are easy to enjoy yet allow you think and make you feel. Songs that take you to a place and a time. Factor X magazine (Hollywood CA) once stated that Rick Royale’s lyrics “reignite the long lost spirit of youth & freedom”. His new recording At the End of Sunset is no exception.

THINK…

At the End of Sunset is full of stories that reflect on life, touching on issues of love, desperation, happiness, heartbreak and Hollywood dreams. Tales of tragic heroes lost amongst a sea of a thousand faces, songs of solitary hours spent internalizing and intimate accounts of relationships that you will find yourself nodding your head along with, understanding the nakedly, honest sentiments. Rick’s emotive lyrics rise above a sound that echoes the classic pop songs of the late 60’s and early 70s while taking time to stroll the same musical side streets as today’s songwriters like David Gray, Ryan Adams, Edwin Mc Cain, or Pete Yorn.

FEEL...

At the End of Sunset eases you along a ride through the hills and valleys of the Los Angeles lifestyle. From the introspective, melancholy feeling of standing alone above a city that glimmers with unfulfilled, petty, promises to the effortless, warm hours spent with someone you love. At the End of Sunset sways you from upbeat California-pop songs that you can almost see the palm trees dancing with the telephone lines to three chord bashers about pain and emptiness and then lulls you back with slow, sweet confessionals of a human heart.

GOOD.

You can feel great about supporting a truly independent artist. One who manages to acquire respect and admiration of his peers yet continues to remain true to himself. An individual who keeps in stride with the times yet chooses not to simply follow the trends. Rick Royale’s At the End of Sunset is like a breath of fresh air in a smoggy city…
