Nomadic Firs releases new single “In It”

Ryan Boos is an artist who works fluidly across writing, visual art and music, blurring the lines between sound, image and language while always returning to themes of spirituality, perception and transformation. Under his moniker Nomadic Firs, he’s become best known for bringing together lo-fi textures, ambient pop and electronic experimentation, with his singing based in improvisation and spontaneity. Over the years, he’s built an incredible body of work, releasing multiple albums and attracting remixes from a wide range of artists, including Grammy-winning duo ODESZA.

Since his debut release through cassette label Crash Symbols, Nomadic Firs has consistently drawn acclaim for its distinct voice in the world of experimental pop. His discography now stretches across five albums, with each project expanding his exploration of sound while maintaining an intimacy and emotional context. Alongside his music, he’s developed his creative world through Hazy Acres, a platform he originally founded in 2012 as a space for underground artists which has since flourished into a personal writing hub where he’s published over 500 poems and prose works.

As much as Nomadic Firs represents his sonic identity, his artistic vision shines in visual form too. Working with painting, collage, photography and text, he digitally manipulates his work to create immersive and layered imagery. In 2025, he launched Healers Canvas, an Etsy shop showcasing artwork and merchandise that pairs his visual and musical output, including cover art from Nomadic Firs releases. His side project Open Channel also takes him further into atmospheric and instrumental spheres, often bordering on film score composition, highlighting his ability to stretch his sound into new environments.

Following last year’s deeply reflective Love Is Violent, an album that closed a chapter of personal struggles and past relationships, Nomadic Firs now turns a page with the release of his latest single titled “In It.” Where its predecessor leaned heavy with catharsis, “In It” bursts with a renewed lightness and vitality, reflecting Ryan’s journey through two years of sobriety and a deepening yoga practice. The track is wrapped in warmth and celebration, shifting his focus towards fun, connection and the joy of melody-driven songwriting.

Recorded in his 120-year-old bungalow, surrounded by plants and the presence of his two young sons, the single captures the atmosphere of his home as much as his voice. Experimenting with Soma Laboratories’ Cosmos Drifting Memory Station, he layers earthy textures of footstep-like rhythms and organic sonic details, into an electronic arrangement to craft a laid back, pop-tinged jam that flows with hushed vocal leads, softly pattering percussion and airy instrumental textures.

Born from an afternoon of improvisational dancing and singing in the sun before being refined in a local tea shop, “In It” distils the spirit of living fully in the moment. It’s a song that feels alive with possibility, the sound of an artist who’s emerged from struggle with focus and courage, ready to share his celebration with anyone willing to join him.
