Editor's note

Old Man Canyon's hazy, reflective indie rock

A Los Angeles trio crafting atmospheric songs with moody, personal lyrics.

If you want to get a sense of their vibe, 'Learn To Forget' and 'Sugar City' are good places to start. They capture that hazy, reflective quality pretty well.

Old Man Canyon's music has a consistent, hazy feel that sticks with you. Songs like 'Learn To Forget' and 'Hollow Tree' from their 2014 album 'Phantoms & Friends' set that reflective tone early on. It's the kind of sound that works for quiet, introspective moments, and they've kept it going through albums like 'Echoes of the Past' and 'Whispers from the Abyss'.

The band started in Los Angeles around 2011 with Shane Covell, Nate Mendel, and Ron Welty. After Welty left in 2017, Ethan Luck joined on drums, and they continued releasing albums like 'Shadows in the Night' in 2020. Their sound hasn't changed much from those early records, staying atmospheric with subdued vocals.

Archive material and source history

Old Man Canyon started in Los Angeles around 2011, with Shane Covell on vocals and guitar, Nate Mendel on bass, and Ron Welty on drums. Their first album, 'Phantoms & Friends', came out in 2014. Songs like 'Hollow Tree' and 'Learn To Forget' have a hazy, reflective feel that caught some attention early on.

They put out a few more albums after that, including 'Echoes of the Past' in 2016 and 'Whispers from the Abyss' in 2018. The sound stayed atmospheric, with Covell's lyrics leaning into moody, personal themes. Tracks such as 'Wiser' and 'In The Rain' fit that quieter, introspective lane.

In 2017, Welty left the band, and Ethan Luck joined on drums. The group kept going with Covell, Mendel, and Luck, releasing 'Shadows in the Night' in 2020. Their music hasn't shifted dramatically from those early records, it's still built around hazy guitars and subdued vocals, as you can hear on 'Sugar City'.
