New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On
September 8,
David Ramirez will release We're Not Going Anywhere, the follow up to his 2015 breakthrough record Fables and second in partnership with Thirty Tigers. The Sam Kassirer-produced album finds Ramirez breaking new ground, both sonically and as a songwriter, with outlets like FLOOD Magazine calling it "...a spaced-out brand of folk that takes notes from the shuffling sadness of The War on Drugs and Hiss Golden Messenger."
This week, UPROXX premiered the Luck Sessions performance of his new song, "Twins," which was the second song to be released from the forthcoming album. UPROXX's Caitlin White said, "Performing 'Twins' on that church stage, Ramirez brings the full ghostly anger of the song to life, peeling back the layers to elevate this song from a story of specific familial loss into a larger examination of American devastation and loss."
The Line of Best Fit shared "Twins" and called it "...a departure from Ramirez's rootsy sound giving way to developing sonic arrangements that are new and firmly rooted in the present day."

David Ramirez takes in the world from his unique perspective: "Being half white and half Mexican has made this current political climate especially interesting. So many cultures in this country are being viewed as un-American and it breaks my heart. My family have raised children here, created successful businesses here, and are proud to be a part of this country. Most of what I've seen as of late is misplaced fear. I wanted to write about that fear and how, instead of benefiting us, it sends us spiraling out control."
David Ramirez will kick off a national tour with Shakey Graves tomorrow and will tour throughout the rest of the year.
