Ears Wide Open: Tyler Lyle

3

Tyler’s Lyle’s rhythmic folk music springs from the fertile loam of Americana, where broken hearts mend, indomitable spirits prevail and sad smiles tell a thousand tales. His voice carries the wizened optimism of a Ryan Adams, and his sharp lyrics, buoyant melodies and deft orchestration make the songs on his new album “The Golden Age & the Silver Girl” something special. Well, I say “new” because it was released to major digital outlets this week – actually, Lyle self-released the album via Bandcamp last year. It was recorded right before the native of Carrollton, Ga., moved to Los Angeles. “The Golden Age & the Silver Girl” is a break-up album, yes, but one that favors self-discovery and renewal over moping or whining. It’s contagious.
