Roy Catlin Music

With the release of his full length album From Being Lost, Roy Catlin brings a new feel to a classic genre. Lush with beautiful acoustic guitar work, addicting vocal melodies, and a deep rooted progressive folk sound, the album reaches everything from dreamscapes to anthems. Though songs are diverse from one and other, there is a glue that holds it all together like a concept album. Most importantly, the record never loses sight of the emotional platform great songs are built from. The first single "Failures" is a catchy indie rock song that breathes and builds as it plays on. Layers of guitar hooks, strong choruses, and a message, the track practically begs one to sing along. "Failures is about accepting the hardships life throw at you and learning to work through them. At the time I wrote the song I was going through a lot of unexpected changes, and a lot of plans I had were redirected because of them. I decided that instead of wishing things would have gone how I had planned that I could accept them and see the beauty in them. That song is one of my favorites I’ve ever written." explains the songwriter of his single. Although the single speaks volumes of the album, to get the full understanding of where Roy is coming from, it should be heard in it's entirety. Songs like "Epiphany" utilize intricate, lullaby-esque progressions and driving percussion to push itself into an indie pop realm, while others use an almost southern twang combined with string sections to bring emotion forward. Hailing from Colorado, singer songwriter Roy Catlin began writing for his solo project in early 2013 after playing with several progressive rock and metal bands. After some time, Roy realized he was really being driven more by the songs he had been writing on his own. The songs were more personal, and real for him. In 2014, he decided this was where he needed to be as an artist and started focusing on his project full time. A year later, the "From Being Lost" album was born. "Each song on the album is very personal to me, but I feel that this one in particular really represents who I am as an artist. I approach each song with honesty and I know right away if a song is going to work for me or not. I felt that this one had all the elements I go for when I write songs and that’s why I chose it. My sound is always evolving and I think it evolved over the course of recording the album. I just always try to learn as much as I can from as many musicians as I can and apply it to my music. I think I’m growing as a song writer and I think that will really be showcased on my next album. " says Roy of his album and songwriting process. Roy is always writing, and is currently planning a tour for Summer 2016. The From Being Lost album is now available on most digital outlets for streaming and download. Singer Songwriter from Denver Colorado.
