Atlanta-based artist Ryan O'Connell, known for his unique blend of slacker rock vibes and raw DIY energy, proudly presents his latest track, “Senseless,” from his new EP, On the Clock. The song perfectly showcases O'Connell’s eclectic influences, combining 90s indie rock and post-punk with his trademark quirky, insightful lyrics.
Influenced by guitar legends like Neil Young, Tom Verlaine, and Eric Clapton, O'Connell’s sound captures the laid-back essence of Pavement and Beck, mixed with the gritty spirit of Violent Femmes and The Cure. “Senseless” exemplifies this fusion, offering intricate guitar work paired with a lyrical narrative that's both humorous and thought-provoking.
In “Senseless,” O'Connell explores everyday moments with a touch of absurdity, as captured in the opening lines: "I walked down to the park today / Studied the way the ants moved across the lawn again." These lyrics reflect his ability to find deeper meaning in the mundane, all while maintaining a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek tone.
“'Senseless' is one of those tracks where I just let my influences flow naturally,” says O'Connell. “It’s quirky and introspective, but it’s also got that raw energy I love. I hope people can find a bit of themselves in it, even if they’re just as confused as I am.”
On the Clock is now available for streaming on all major platforms, including Spotify. The EP is a testament to O'Connell’s dedication to crafting fresh, authentic music that blends humor with genuine reflection.
