RIUN GARNER
Riun Garner is a Canadian singer-songwriter and actor from Vancouver, BC. His debut EP “All We Know and All We Forget” which was featured on Spotify editorial playlist “The Most Beautiful Songs in the World” introduced him to listeners everywhere and achieved him notoriety among industry professionals. Fondly compared to the likes of Elliott Smith, Riun’s influences draw from the formative alternative indie-rock music of his youth growing up in the late 90s with the fresh perspective of modern contemporaries such as Hovvdy, Alex G, and Phoebe Bridgers. Riun Garner has been expanding his scope and talent as a singer-songwriter and artistic craftsman. Though deeply personal, Riun’s songs seem almost written for you or about you. They embody that which we can’t always comprehend: the irreconcilable joy and loss of loving. And there’s a truthful emotionality and earnestness that invites you to reflect on our own lives. His debut full length album “Nice To Meet Ya” released this summer marks a significant shift in production and musical accompaniment while still leaning into the fluttering analog tape recorded elements that bridge the nostalgic upbringings of his EP and makes it akin to a gifted mix tape from friend or lover full of timeless classics.
REVIEWS
“ …It seems as if you’re seated right next to him, at a campfire or on the floor of someone’s dimly lit city apartment, sharing in his heartbreak.”
“...Not only does he have rich lyrics that reach deep into the soul, but he has a knack for lovely song arrangements that cut deep.”
“...Riun’s journey developing his debut solo album is just as romantic as his emotionally generous music. It’s like the sonic hug we all desperately need right out.”
“...Outstanding, young, talented solo artist, comparable with Bon Iver or Vancouver’s Dan Mangan.”
“...Garner’s songwriting is instinctive and simple, sung with a soft-spoken quality that tells a relatable story.”
“...Garner has an almost old and wise personality to his performance; his fragile delivery walks the pace of a man with many more years under his belt. It’s all for the better, as it just adds to the emotion in his voice and as a listener, you feel trust in the words like he’s sharing some deep wisdom.”
“...classic and familiar, yet still fresh. This is a heartfelt and accomplished debut.”
