Explorers Vol. 4

Explorers Vol. 4 is the fourth and final EP in a series Rykard began in 2019, built around memories of childhood and paced to let those memories breathe. Four tracks: "Dead Man's Trip" (3:48), "Stars Like Dust" (4:48), "Fading Into the Light" (5:20), and "Hydra" (4:40). Textural, spacious pieces with the occasional harder edge, sitting in the same contemplative territory the Explorers series has occupied from the start.

The full series ran across four years: Vol. 1 in July 2019, Vol. 2 in February 2020, Vol. 3 in December 2020, and Vol. 4 in July 2023 to close the arc.

Written and produced by Rick Wearing. Mastered by Justin Moreh. Cover art by Barry Wearing.

Out now on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and Pandora.
