RISLEY – Breadcrumbs

Since its formation, RISLEY has captivated listeners with its dreamy, nostalgic sound, weaving intricate guitar melodies with emotional depth. Hailing from Portland, the band, led by Michael Deresh, has crafted a unique space in the indie rock scene, blending British influences with their own evocative style. With their upcoming album *Umbra Penumbra* set for release in January 2025, RISLEY continues to evolve, promising even more captivating tracks that explore the complexity of human emotion and connection. Known for their dynamic live shows, including an album release celebration at Mississippi Studios, RISLEY’s music is a journey—each song offering something personal, yet universally relatable.

“Breadcrumbs” offers a beautiful snapshot of the emotional turbulence that comes with love and loss. The song builds on reflective lyrics like “The bigger the love, the larger the hole,” set against a backdrop of dreamy guitars and a driving rhythm section that pulls listeners deeper into the song’s emotional pull. The line “You’ve gotta lose your mind to find your soul” encapsulates the song’s essence—an exploration of self-discovery through the chaos of life and love. RISLEY has created a powerful, introspective track that resonates long after it fades out. Don’t miss out on this captivating journey—stream “Breadcrumbs” now and stay tuned for more from their upcoming album!
