Nashville, TN (PRWEB) October 12, 2006 Matthew Ryan delivers his first solo set in three years titled From A Late Night High-Rise, on Brooklyn-based indie 00:02:59. Mindfully, Ryan shuns the traditional record company model for an intimate release befitting of such a personal album. ?The decision was easy.? Ryan explains, ?With a major label push there is no romanticism. I don?t mean to sound cynical, but it?s like trying to play golf in a mine field.? Its digital release date will be December 5th, but Ryan will hand-deliver traditional hard copies of High-Rise to fans across the country while on tour, including the dates in November. And it doesn?t get more personal than that. In the three years since Regret Over The Wires, Ryan has penned two albums of songs, with the most notable to date being ?For Blues Skies.? Originally intended for inclusion on High-Rise, the song found a home on the self-titled 2005 release from Strays Don?t Sleep, Ryan?s collaborative side-pr...
