‘Paths of Color’ is Nina Ryser’s sixth solo album. In line with her past few releases, ‘Paths of Color’ is characteristic Nina Ryser: dreamy, wonky, synth- based art-pop that’s bubbly, edgy, sweet and dark all at once; with elements of post-punk, art rock and free jazz. But on ‘Paths of Color’, Ryser has honed her home recording and mixing skills and refined her home studio set-up, making it her most polished-sounding work yet. And, along with the mastering skills of Angel Marcloid (Fire-Toolz), it is intentionally clearer-sounding than anything she has yet produced. But she’s maintained that homemade vibe, as well as the freedom of childhood expression that is so crucial to her sound. Her background in contemporary classical music serves to hold it all together in a taut, designful balance.

Do-it-all-herself musician and artist Nina Ryser has been home-recording since she was eight years old on her Fisher-Price toy tape machine. She’s also spent the past seven years in the buzzing art- noise-rock trio Palberta (as well as the projects Old Maybe, Shimmer, Data and Fire Roast).

“As in her band, Ryser knows how to create an emotional journey from unconventional material; in this case, the path will leave you with a smile.” – Fader

“One thing is for sure- Ryser’s style is something that you will not forget.” – Impose
