We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the blazing new single, “Voicemail”, from Boston, based trio, The Ringer Soundtrack. You can check out “Voicemail” Here

“Voice mail”finds The Ringer Soundtrack – the longtime collaborative and BFF trio of Mick Coyne (vocals and piano), Brandon Forbes Dalrymple (guitars), and Ross Goodwin (bass, production) – reaching out for personal connection at a time when we all need it most. We’ve all made that call, and our hearts have sunk as the ringing quickly gives way to an automated message and a cold, heartless beep.

‘Voicemail’ could be about making a phone call, and to your amazement, they’ve set up their voicemail – which is rare these days,” says Dalrymple. “Maybe it’s about the consistent pain of unreciprocated love in life, and all of its fleeting reminders – yet you still want to hear it again. Maybe, just maybe, they will love me back if I call once more – but they never pick up that call, do they?” 

The melodic beauty of “Voicemail” from The Ringer Soundtrack, is a tapestry of emotions and melodies that you will want to playback endlessly in your mind.

Will traditional telephone use make a comeback?” asks Coyne. “We have become a broadcast-only society, no reception or communion. Will work from the office make a cultural comeback? What about the truth, will the truth make a comeback? We have to force all these conversations, but people don’t want to talk out of discomfort, or fear, or being confronted with it. People don’t want to have those convos but maybe taking a look at that phone booth will remind us how far off track we are. We used to be a wholesome TGIF society! WE USED TO LEAVE A VOICEMAIL AFTER THE TONE.” 

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Goodwin, “Voicemail” came together after the band huddled for an impromptu songwriting session last summer. The band lit Dalrymple’s scented Jimmy Page candle as a gift to the songwriting gods, and the trio, armed with only a Yamaha acoustic and a cacophony of melody and hooks in their collective heads, posted up at a picnic table outside Dalrymple’s home studio. From there, with just the right amount of moisture in the air, bugs flying all around, and that perfect New England temperature just begging for outdoor activity,  the song came together with a relative quickness.

Leading up to the release and beyond, the eclectic Boston trio have set up a hotline for fans to call, 617-652-0506, and leave their own message after the tone.
