THUNDERBOLTS
TUSKOLA
RELEASED: 7.18.2025
Hot on the heels of his last single, Ryan Brewer shoots off another one straight from the heavens. ‘Thunderbolts’ encapsulates that golden-hour moment of a rainy afternoon. It’s an optimistic tune that drives the listener and holds our hand through the ever-marching passage of time. Brewer’s smooth songwriting and lush lyricism ushers us across sprawling landscapes with a misty view of a suburban afterlife on the horizon. It’s a perfect summer song for lazy days that keeps everything easy.
“Thunderbolts started as a cut-and-paste exercise of mixing words and phrases until an image emerged. The image coalesced around the idea of a thundercloud that never strikes. It has something it wants to let out but can’t or maybe it’s choosing not to.”
