Video: “Nightmare Rider!”
“Almost feeling like a modern day protest song for the self and against the personal negative, traces of Bob Dylan clash with retrospective and introverted hybrids of guitar and electronica, Minorcan selves into the id and the self with the mind of a musician and the honesty of a poet.
Distinctly originaly [sic] and quasi sarcastic, Minorcan is a fresh voice in a tired world.” - Ryan Martin, Jammerzine

According to stories, Katherine Hepburn sought solace by swimming in the Long Island Sound. Minorcan is the project by Asheville resident, Ryan Anderson, who seeks a similar solace by writing and recording music in his basement. “Rock Alone” is the genesis of the forthcoming album, ROCK ALONE, by Minorcan. This is a song written by a former lonely kid dedicated to other lonely kids out there hiding in their basements from a global pandemic, fleeing their house to avoid bomb blasts, scraping mud off their floors after a natural disaster, and on and on. Yes, it’s bleak out there, but you are not alone. Pick up any rock, instrument, camera, paint brush, pen, and call it, “home.” Anderson conceived of "Rock Alone" when digging through old records, inspired by House of Tomorrow era The Magnetic Fields, the Jim Carroll Band’s “I Want the Angel,” and Lawrence Hayward’s Denim.
