about

Starting in 2016, Ty Sorrell (they/them) began releasing projects at a dizzying pace. Alongside Tribe 95, the collective Ty formed with high school friends and musical collaborators in Woodbridge, Virginia, they molded their music around the mentorship provided by their influences. “I was learning and figuring out the formulas,” they explain. “Once I got past that, I started identifying parts of these artists that made me think differently or taught me something that I now hold close as a value. Each person has a character trait or particular way that they do things that I identify with in myself.”

Ty would be the first Tribe 95 member to relocate to Richmond, a move that would decide the collective’s new home base. January 2019 saw the release of the Chai EP, Ty’s proper introduction to the Richmond scene and the first domino in a series of releases circling their signature sound—a mixture of retro style and brazen authenticity that comes away timeless. HomeGrown, their latest project, is in many ways Chai’s spiritual successor, lifting its commitment to hits-only sequencing and backdrops that reach for the sun. Except this time, Ty’s reaching for the stars—and if this is the only Ty Sorrell output that reaches your station, that’s okay with them. “I feel like these are the joints. If you played them back years later, they wouldn’t feel dated.”

HomeGrown was assembled with the image of a diner jukebox in mind, a carefree yet effective vessel for memorable songwriting. It’s easy to imagine Ty relaxing with their friends in a corner booth while tracks from the effort ooze through overhead speakers. The project, Ty believes, is one best experienced in order, beginning with the slinking bass and submerged chords of “Mako.” If you had to get acquainted with the record through a jukebox’s singles catalog, it’s all good—let the reverb-soaked groove of “Gots to See It Through” thrum through your soul. If your local spot accepts deep cuts in their machine, why not choose “AF1s”? It’s Ty at their most exposed and vulnerable, a track concerning suicide amid whispers of forward motion. Rob Gibsun’s feature ties off Ty’s worries with a slight hopefulness, like a plane jetting off towards new starts. As Ty explains, “a lot of songs that I’m dancing to are fucked-up songs.” HomeGrown doesn’t spare its listeners from ugliness; it’s just nestled in packages that also highlight complicated beauty.

HomeGrown is prepped for summer cookout playlists and other group settings, but also to be Ty’s highlight reel for your consideration. “I want people to see where I’m at or where this lives. This is one that I went for and executed the way I wanted to. I’m gonna feel good about it regardless.” Join their hit parade and you’ll be feeling good too.
