David Ramirez in MEZZ

After a period of much-needed rest and reflection, he brings a tribute to the power of music with his new album 'All the Not So Gentle Reminders'. With his music, he delivers an evening full of layered stories and dreams. David Ramirez is no stranger to the music world. With six studio albums, three EPs, and projects such as the supergroup Glorietta to his name, he is a staple in the American indie-folk scene. 

After a turbulent period, he decided to temporarily put down his pen. He didn't want to write heartbreak songs but waited until the joy of making music itself once again took centre stage. The result is his most ambitious and hopeful work to date. Where he once wrote with the idea that his music had to work, now the pure joy of experimentation is at the forefront. 

On 'All the Not So Gentle Reminders', David takes you on a journey through dreams. In tracks like 'Maybe It Was All a Dream', you hear how intimate synths gradually develop into grand arrangements with organs and electric guitars. Ramirez lets the music speak through long instrumental intros and outros, which tell as much as his raw, honest lyrics.
