Rival Consoles, aka Ryan Lee West

Rival Consoles' Thoughtful and 'Humanised' Electronica

Soundcheck | May 28, 2018

Hear unraveling minimalist electronica with restrained ambient feels from Rival Consoles, aka London-based producer Ryan Lee West, whose music combines warm and human analogue-heavy synthesizers, along with acoustic and electric instruments. On his latest, Persona, which might have taken inspiration from the shoegaze band, Slowdive, West strikes a delicate balance between music for home listening and larger spaces. He’ll perform this shifting palette of drones, melodies, and effects, in-studio.
