Ring, Gus
For Us Lonely Souls
Gus Ring always felt like an outsider. Growing up playing trumpet in orchestras, he later ended up screaming in metal
and hardcorebands. From this grew Gus unique style of fragile, dark, melancholic pop. His works has been compared by
critics and fans to songwriters like Jeff Buckley and Damien Rice, and bands such as The Cure, Daughter and Wovenhand.
Over the course of two album releases and extensive touring throughout Europe as a solo act Gus Rings third album For Us
Lonely Souls features Jolanda Moletta (She Owl) on keyboards and Fredrik Ottosson on drums. While keeping the eerie
melodies and emptiness of 2017 Hypnoseas the step out of the previous singer-songwriter outfit has given the trio
newfound power to experiment with soundscapes and creative dynamics ranging from fragile minimalism to cinematic
crescendos.
With heavy mellotron bass, soaring ambient guitar, classical piano lines, cinematic drums and Gus Rings fragile yet
powerful voice the trio is creating a dreamlike space of music that allows the listener to just close their eyes and
drift away.
During live performances, the audience is invited to progressively go deeper and deeper within, finding their innermost
sorrow and letting it go.
