Ryan is currently presenting his 2024 masterpiece, “Undone.” A 1970s-style indie-soul-R&B album, which is being hailed as, "a journey back in time, a sonic odyssey that restores the 1970s Album-oriented rock sensibility.”
 A series of free-wheeling studio sessions for Ryan Van Dordrecht’s sophomore record, Undone—released digitally and on vinyl January 2024—made for a happy accident album he didn’t envision. The 10-song collection is a finely-crafted, 1970s-indie soul / R&B. It finds Ryan, a talented multi-instrumentalist, supported by a carefully-curated collection of Wrecking Crew-level musicians.

Undone is a milestone entry in Ryan’s four studio-album oeuvre. Its breezy, 1970s AOR sensibility harkens back to formative influences such as Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, and Bonnie Raitt. “In the past, I got away from the sounds I grew up on, and I sometimes tried to do what I thought people wanted to hear,” Ryan shares. Undone’s modern vintage aesthetic recalls artists such as War On Drugs, Jenny Lewis, Father John Misty, Neal Francis, and Phoebe Bridgers.
