The Fahey-esque opening chords of Ryan K. Bishop’s “Undone” just about sets you up for the leftward turn of the lyrics into a love lost and the ghosts of cherished memories. The world-weary pace is like the reeling emotions of the dissolution of a strong bond that might be a little too intense to bear at times yet too devastating to lose. As folk-y guitar is joined by electronic beats a third of the way through the song the pain in Bishop’s voice, so sincere and powerful throughout, is given a new context of sound as the vivid imagery and sense of being ground under by one’s own clinging to what is no more float in ethereal electronic tones that brighten and fade out washing away just enough of the mired emotions to begin to be free of their anchoring you to the past.
