Ricky Montgomery's music was ahead of its time—literally. Four years after the release of his debut album, and a decade after he wrote some of it, the Los Angeles native's indie-pop has been a balm in the midst of a heavy time, comforting listeners with warm melodies and relatable lyrics. It all started in July of 2020, when a pair of singles from 2016's Montgomery Ricky—the gently swaying Mr. Loverman and string-soaked stunner Line Without a Hook—took off on TikTok. "I think because we had a really traumatizing year, these songs kind of found a moment," Montgomery says.
