There’s more to Ryan Wu than meets the eye (and the ear). With debut EP ‘Wutasia,’ the multi-instrumentalist perfectly encompasses the experience of young adulthood through his stripped down vocals, the twang of his guitar, and plainly honest lyrics (“Changing thoughts can’t seem to go away / Not a thing stays the same” – he sings in opener ‘Changing,’ a track that addresses the shifting friendships and loneliness Ryan experienced during the writing process). The low fidelity of the record gives the project a timeless sound, that blends well with Wu’s whimsical vocals, whose tone and melody are at times reminiscent of psychedelic genius Syd Barrett. – Lilly Milman
