Skinny Dyck

Resist the urge to laugh at Skinny Dyck - the playful alias of western Canadian artist Ryan Dyck (or don’t, that’s kind of the idea). Victory Pool Records is thrilled to announce Easygoing, the new full-length album from Skinny Dyck, following hot on the heels of 2022's Palace Waiting, which “distilled the spirit of wide-cut country,” according to Exclaim! magazine. Easygoing sees Dyck moving a few steps further away from the country music environs he once wholly inhabited, but fear not, twang fans: rather than replacing that sound wholesale, he and his studio collaborators have instead created their own hybrid approaches. Or, as Dyck puts it, “I still like to collect my mail at the old shack off the highway, but I no longer want to live there exclusively.”
