Indie Rock from Michael Ransom

Michael Ransom is a singer/songwriter from London who is blossoming in the music industry with his fourth single from his upcoming EP. Ransom is a multi-instrumentalist as well as vocalist and writer. He plays guitar, keyboard, bass and drums, which connects to his music influences, The Beatles, Nirvana, Kanye West and John Lennon. “I’d Do It Again” from Ransom’s 2021 album 20/21, has a simple, honest, and layered atmosphere to the song that was recorded at his flat in North London.

The spirit in his music indicates his indie/indie rock and dream pop concept with its mysterious and melancholy sounds. This connects to the motive for his song as he tells us the meaning behind it, “The song is about meeting someone, over doing it, and feeling like death after, but wanting to do it all again to see them one more time.”

Not only has he been an independent artist, but he was previously in a band with his brothers, he said “I started writing on my own during lockdown having previously been in a band called “Mavis Victory Project” with my brothers”.

The opening drum beat to “I’d Do It Again” starts a catchy rhythm that then consists of layering with multiple instruments, by synthesising his echoing voice going from one ear to the other, it impacts the artistic aroma and melancholy feeling the song inflicts. All these elements are combined in the genres of indie/indie rock and dream pop. Michael Ransoms music uplifts in a dream-like sense with the hazy effects of his voice and the psychedelic calm backing music.
