"Pop music is really a talent search, and sometimes the most promising results can sneak into your ears from out of left field completely. Ryan Lindsey is an Oklahoman who was in a band there called Cheyenne, before venturing out on his own. His debut album, White Paper Beds, has the freshness of someone who probably doesn’t ask for a lot of advice, but follows what he feels in his heart and hears in his head. There is no over-processed feel to these twelve songs, but rather the freshness of floating in a creative space with no restrictive definitions. The best of Brian Wilson’s songs wrote the book for music like this, and the fact that Ryan Lindsey’s sound is able to evoke Wilson’s name is a good omen that we’ll be hearing much more from Lindsey. He also plays guitar with fellow Oklahomans Starlight Mints, but for those looking for a pop album with plenty of mystery and imagination, White Paper Beds is the perfect place to start."
