DAVID RAMIREZ
David Ramirez took a little time to get back to himself, and now he’s dead set on makingmusic for himself—for the sake of the music, and nothing else.
“I love all the records I’ve made in the past,” says Ramirez. “But in making them, therewas always the thought in the back of my mind of where and what it could get me. I madeboth creative and business decisions with a goal in mind; a goal that often never came.
This time it was all about just the joy of making it, about having fun with it.”The Austin, TX-based singer-songwriter—whose career has seen six full-length studioalbums, three EPs, countless collaborations, and an illustrious supergroup project in Glorietta—spent a season of rest away from his focus on writing songs. In the wake ofthe end of a long relationship, he wanted to prioritize processing his grief as a human, notas an artist bleeding onto the page.
“The last thing I wanted was to write a heartbreak record. So I stopped writing altogether,and I just waited until I saw my heart start coming back to life. I wanted the next thing tobe hopeful and sweet and beautiful—a testament to music and my love for it.”
THOMAS CSORBA
Thomas Csorba has announced the May 22 release of his new album Tender Country via the newly-launched Turtlebox Records. His third studio album, Tender Country is country music uninterested in posturing, guided instead by tenderness, humor, and an acceptance of impermanence. That mentality comes across acutely in his new single, “The Big Time,” a gorgeous country ballad that poignantly illustrates the hardships of a life on the road and the family milestones you can miss along the way.
