Atlanta, GA synthpop/lo-fi artist Ryan Parks aka Fit of Body has unveiled the video for his new single “After Hours“, ahead of his upcoming album ‘Far From The Rhythm‘, due on July 7 via 2MR.
At the start of the musical incarnation of Fit of Body/Harsh Riddims, Ryan once told a friend that he felt somewhat disconnected from the affairs and feelings of others due to the abundance of time he spent alone enveloped in books. FAR FROM THE RHYTHM, as a whole, mines the reflective chasm that hopefully befalls one as they approach peak adulthood (the first of many peaks probably). A whirl of divine detachment (but not cynicism!).
The album is a reflection of him having been proverbially “OUTSIDE” for a decade now and finding a balance in Parks boundaries, intimacy, and social orbits. With almost an army reserve level of skate tours, random backing DJ gigs, and a continued energetic and chronal investment in his family, musical colleagues, girlfriends, and elders, the distance has been closed.
All in all, FAR FROM THE RHYTHM denotes a calm, decisive, and confident Fit of Body, still rolling right along. Pre-order it here.
