As we mentioned when offering him a BTW, San Francisco's Ryan Lynch, joined here/there by Hannah Hunt, has an autumnal, jittery sound that's part Belle & Sebastian funk/part Arthur Russell lullaby/part his own details. At times it reminds me of Kelley Polar as a scruffy Bay Area busker. "Clawing Out At The Walls" floats into an icier, more open-ended direction than the two previous tracks we posted, but it maintains all of the qualities that drew us to the guy in the first place.
Dominant Legs - "Clawing Out At The Walls" (MP3)

Remember to look for a a 7'' in early 2010. Or for Ryan opening for Girls. He's added a few more since we last reported them. All dates are with Girls. Plus some others.
