Boylife - Gelato

Facts Vinyl LP pressing. Gelato is ambitious, an album that wears it's admiration for geniuses like Prince and D'Angelo on it's sleeve. It gathers up the very particular experiences of a Gen Z kid from L.A. who inherited his restless, wide-roaming musical taste from his Korean immigrant father. It's an album that delights in discovering new sounds and feelings, for attempting the colossal task of pinning down those difficult-to-name emotions that hide between words. "All the things I needed to say are on here," Ryan says. "Just in case I die young." Somehow, he doesn't sound morbid. It's just the truth.
