RYKARD debuts Ictis!

RYKARD released Ictis today on his Soundcloud Page, a taste of what’s to come from his forthcoming album Luminosity! We figured it was a good time to also throw the tune up on YouTube as well. Luminosity drops Sept 17th on digital outlets worldwide, with limited CD and Vinyl to follow. Pre-orders available at iTunes and Amazon.

RYKARD – Luminosity Coming Sept 17th

RYKARD is a producer of ambient electronica from the gloomy countryside of Lancashire, England. His first debut album “Arrive the Radio Beacon” in 2010 made waves across the globe with his unique blend of ambient atmospheric bliss that wowed radio DJ’s on the BBC, CBC, KCRW Los Angeles and more.

RYKARD’s second album Luminosity maintains a similar philosophy but takes things to another level, a stunning arrangement of atmospheric electronica with wizard like melodies from another dimension. Luminosity is set for a Sept 17th, 2016 release with limited CD’s coming October and also exclusive limited Vinyl coming soon after..
