Funky Town Visualizer - The Ryne Experience

3rd album "Funky Town" from Grand Rapids, MI psych alt-country rock collective The Ryne Experience in visual form.

Originally released April 20th, 2020 on Under the Counter Tapes.

Funky Town is a loose concept record following the story of Paul Mashake, a man who has his name, lover, and identity stolen from him by Nameless Sam. As he forms new experiences as a blank slate, he begins to see the world with new eyes, and when he eventually reclaims his past life, he feels like an impostor in his own skin and disillusioned with modern societal life. As Nameless Sam returns to take the one thing that tethered him to his old identity, his lover Maude Macklin, he snaps and descends into madness. Only to return to Funky Town ten years later to find Nameless Sam with The Swany Dons in a hotel, causing a nervous breakdown.
