Bayard Russell

A guy that started out in the suburbs, fought through the Dartmouth College rigors of education, and is now maneuvering the NYC music scene, should have an overabundance of experience to draw upon once his chosen path of songwriting begins. Maybe so… or maybe it takes someone ripping your heart out to spark the flame of creativity. On Bayard Russell’s straightforward debut, simply called Selftitled, Bayard sincerely weaves in and out of accounts of love and loss… mainly loss of love it seems. Not just another tale of heartbreak, Selftitled’s layered vocals and lo-fi bedroom instrumentation seem heavily influenced by Elliott Smith and all the more former Brooklynite Eric Elbogen’s project Say Hi. Bayard Russell is not ashamed to bring a bit of heartbroken indie pop your way… you’ll find the proof in the 11 songs scattered across Selftitled.
