Calico is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Ryan Beatty. It was released on April 28th, 2023, by Elektra in the United States and Atlantic Records in the United Kingdom. The album served as a follow-up to Beatty's second LP, Dreaming of David (2020). The album was written and recorded in California, with all nine tracks co-produced by Beatty and Producer Ethan Gruska.[2]

The album's lone single, Ribbons, was released on March 17th, 2023, featuring contributions from Justin Vernon[3] of Bon Iver.

Background[edit]

All of the writing for Calico was completed prior to Beatty and Gruska beginning production in December 2021. The pair then spent two months finalizing the musical arrangements. Beatty described Calico thematically as "the slow closing of the wound" in an interview with The Line of Best Fit.[4]
