Mya Byrne is a celebrated Americana singer-songwriter and firecracker guitarist, combining influences from countrypolitan to glam-pop, blues, and ghostly incantations into a singular voice and vision, with elements of John Prine’s whimsy, Leonard Cohen’s spiritual gravitas, Dylan’s wit, and Lucinda Williams’ aching sensuality. Like a crackling backyard fire outside of a city at dusk, stars on one side of the sky and light pollution on the other, Mya’s music is in the pocket of traditional country and Americana, yet firmly rooted in the modern world.

“Being trans is a prayer for something better”- Carta Monir

This album is a prayer.

Egg is the first full-length from Durham, NC artist Riggings, the newest name sad-folk stalwart Alex Riggs has adopted for means of personal expression. It was recorded over three days in the summer of 2022 at Betty’s in Chapel Hill, NC under the watchful, owl-like eyes of Alli Rogers (Bon Iver, Tallest Man on Earth).

Much like the titular egg, it’s been sat on and kept warm until something inside was ready to emerge, arms open and beak wide open, screaming and wailing. What begins with stuttering, glitchy Steve Reich-ian patterns soon morphs into cobweb-encrusted folk, exercises in loping, broken piano jazz, guitar solos that sound like dying animals, and heartfelt elegies that are also about cat vomit.
