Whoever Allan Rayman is, he’s made a hell of a body of work so far. The Toronto-based artist has delivered one head-scratching, hypnotic and heavenly project after another, including ‘Hotel Allan’, ‘Roadhouse 01’, and the unforgettable ‘CHRISTIAN’. Along the way, he generated over 250 million streams, sold out tours in Europe, the USA and Canada, and shined at festivals, including Reading & Leeds, Bonnaroo, Rifflandia and Lollapalooza, and has collaborated with the likes of Jessie Reyez, Alex da Kid and James Vincent McMorrow. His forthcoming album ‘The All Allan Hour’ is his most potent work to date. The album is a period piece set in 1994 centred around an aspiring artist named #1 and her obsession with
America’s biggest radio star.
‘The All Allan Hour’, even for those of us with short attention spans, is a masterful story setup, aided and abetted by the unique soundtrack of Allan Rayman. With this album, Allan has created an audio experience somewhere between an album and a book on tape.
