"Close your eyes and drift away with Things Of That Nature, the latest single from Common Hours (aka Portland’s own adam black). This ethereal soundscape is everything you want in an indie pop anthem – tender vocals that caress your ears, acoustic guitar and piano weaving a warm tapestry, and subtle electronic flourishes that add a touch of modern mystique.  Black’s songwriting is the star here. Deep, yet relatable lyrics glisten and the tender embrace of the acoustic guitar and piano is a masterclass in creating a lush sonic landscape." - Neon Music

Drawing inspiration from contemporary artists like Bon Iver, The Japanese House, and Phoebe Bridgers. 

"Things of That Nature," is out now!! ✨

Making music since 2015 and hopefully getting a little better with each song. 

I like to try different genres of music from EDM to future bass, to ambient/chillout to Jazzy hip-hop beats. 

My goal is to make music that people can connect to in a special way. 
Thanks for listening!

I play synth in the band Arboretum. I also make ambient music under the name Low Entropy Island.

Find me elsewhere on the internet as rygrob.
