Commenting on his return to the UK and Europe, Tyler shared: “I am so excited to cross the ocean again and play these Europe and UK shows this fall! It has been far too long. “New Lost Ages” is to me the best album I have made and I can’t wait to play these songs for folks that I haven’t gotten to see since 2019. Please come out and support- and tell your friends! See you all soon.”
This follows the release of his acclaimed album New Lost Ages, which Americana UK deemed an “indie-folk gem” and which Silent Radio called “an undulating mix of indie, rock and folk stylings while Ramsey considers the notion of trying to find yourself amidst the white noise of modern society.”
‘These Ghosts’ was the lead single off New Lost Ages and is a song Ramsey says, “is for anyone who has left a bad situation behind them only to look down and realize they are still carrying it with them somehow. Letting go – even letting go of something that’s no good – can take time. The pain in your head is just the smoke from a fire that burned out a long time ago.”

ABOUT TYLER RAMSEY:
At the core of any great singer-songwriter lies this inherent trait of stage presence, one where an entire room, no matter the size, is pulled in by this lyrical tractor beam — all eyes, emotions and energies aimed in one direction at a single voice. For Tyler Ramsey, it’s being able to honestly connect with the listener.
Albeit a genuinely humble soul, don’t let Ramsey fool you. When it comes to the modern-day singer-songwriter, he remains a bastion of musical talent and lyrical aptitude — a melodic voice-of-reason and safe haven amid a 21st century world seemingly gone mad. The former lead guitarist of Band of Horses, Ramsey has also released four acclaimed solo albums, including “For The Morning” in 2019.
Ramsey’s latest album New Lost Ages (out now) was captured at the legendary Avast! Recording Co. in Seattle, Washington, by storied producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, The Shins, Built to Spill). The 10-song LP is an ongoing sonic quest — meticulously wandering across the musical landscape, this undulating tone of indie, rock and folk stylings.
The new album is about peeling back the layers of oneself, to locate and open up the dusty boxes of your past from the back of the closet of your mind. It’s memories and mistakes, lessons and lifelines bringing the present moment into focus — the future bright with possibility and purpose, so long as you never forget the road to the here and now.
Alongside bassist Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes) and drummer Sean Lane (Ann Wilson), Ramsey found himself fronting a full-on rock outfit in the studio, a scenario that conjured fresh inspiration and straightforward determination within the recording process — something genuinely heard and felt in the hauntingly poignant number “These Ghosts.”
Pushing further and farther down the rabbit hole of “New Lost Ages,” the melodies are aimed at sincere connectivity through honesty and vulnerability — symbiotic realms that nurture the genuine splendour and lore of Ramsey’s recordings and stoic stage presence in a live setting.
If anything, everything Ramsey has absorbed in his travels — onstage and on the road — is continually channelled through the unique lens of his words, unique tunings and guitar chords. It’s a whirlwind of sound and scope, all radiating from one human being with guitar in-hand, a silent room of curious souls awaiting the next number of beauty and grace conjured by Ramsey with such ease.
