Recorded at Parklife Studios© in Orlando, FL. All songs written & composed by Ryan McKenzie. Produced by Ryan McKenzie & Matt Wright. "Where have the heroes gone....." Ryan McKenzie sets the storyline for his debut EP, "In Light & Desperation". Two years in the making, I wanted to tell a story about my real life experiences with this EP by bringing true lyrics to the surface. I had the opportunity to really capture what has been stuck in my head. I think we did just that. Everything on the EP was recorded without loops, tracks, or samples. I am so proud & thankful for the effort everyone has put in, thus making the EP what it is.
