“standout piece of work”
- BBC
“meticulous, intimate songs”
- HOLLER.
“The album is a triumph of emotional resonance and well-considered sonic depth—as grand scale as it is intimate, as buoyed by hope as it is achingly sad."
- MAGNET
“'These Ghosts' weaves together a woodsy blend of indie rock and folk driven by emphatic guitar riffs and contemplative lyrics. Commanding and introspective, Ramsey finds strength in the catharsis his music allows”
- PASTE
“Ramsey hopes to inspire listeners to recognize the endless mind-fuzz created by contemporary society, let go of the retroactive pain, ego, and trauma and instead accept love”
- RELIX
“A compellingly human pulse”
- UNCUT
Tyler Ramsey has announced a follow-up Deluxe Edition of his fifth studio album New Lost Ages via Soundly Music, due out on October 18. The Deluxe Edition will feature two previously unreleased B-sides including today’s release “Song Out Of My Head,” and “Paper Hearts,” which will come on October 18.
New Lost Ages was recorded at the legendary Avast! Recording Co. in Seattle, Washington, by storied producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Built to Spill). The LP is an ongoing sonic quest — meticulously wandering across the musical landscape, this undulating tone of indie, rock and folk stylings. The album is about peeling back the layers of oneself, to locate and open up the dusty boxes of your past from the back of the closet of your mind. It’s memories and mistakes, lessons and lifelines bringing the present moment into focus — the future bright with possibility and purpose, so long as you never forget the road to the here and now.
“‘Song Out Of My Head’ is a study of recurring thoughts. Memories or images or maybe regrets that might keep you up in the middle of the night. At the same time, it’s a search for hope”

About Tyler Ramsey:
At the core of any great singer-songwriter lies this inherent trait of stage presence, one where an entire room, no matter the size, is pulled in by this lyrical tractor beam — all eyes, emotions and energies aimed in one direction at a single voice. For Tyler Ramsey, it’s being able to honestly connect with the listener.
Albeit a genuinely humble soul, don’t let Ramsey fool you. When it comes to the modern-day singer-songwriter, he remains a bastion of musical talent and lyrical aptitude — a melodic voice-of-reason and safe haven amid a 21st century world seemingly gone mad. The former lead guitarist of Band of Horses, Ramsey has released five acclaimed solo albums, including “For The Morning” in 2019.
The latest album “New Lost Ages” is about peeling back the layers of oneself, to locate and open up the dusty boxes of your past from the back of the closet of your mind. It’s memories and mistakes, lessons and lifelines bringing the present moment into focus — the future bright with possibility and purpose, so long as you never forget the road to the here and now.
Alongside bassist Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes) and drummer Sean Lane (Ann Wilson), Ramsey found himself fronting a full-on rock outfit in the studio, a scenario that conjured fresh inspiration and straightforward determination within the recording process — something genuinely heard and felt in the hauntingly poignant number “These Ghosts.”
Pushing further and farther down the rabbit hole of “New Lost Ages,” the melodies are aimed at sincere connectivity through honesty and vulnerability — symbiotic realms that nurture the genuine splendor and lore of Ramsey’s recordings and stoic stage presence in a live setting.
If anything, everything Ramsey has absorbed in his travels — onstage and on the road — is continually channeled through the unique lens of his words, unique tunings and guitar chords. It’s a whirlwind of sound and scope, all radiating from one human being with guitar in-hand, a silent room of curious souls awaiting the next number of beauty and grace conjured by Ramsey with such ease.
