Speaking to The Japan Times recently, Ryan talked about how his recent divorce has heavily influenced the writing of ‘Prisoner’.
“I started writing this record while I was going through a very public divorce, which is a humiliating and just a fucking horrible thing to go through no matter who you are.To be me and to go through that the way that I did was destructive on a level that I can’t explain. So a lot of extra work went into keeping my chin up and remembering what I did and what I loved about who I was.”
To mark the announcement, Ryan debuted the record’s full 12 tracks at a secret invite-only gig last night (December 7th) in Austrailia at Sydney’s Factory Theatre. Lucky Aussies.
