'Ryan Oakes' album Scary Stories After Dark is an ambitious, autobiographical 13-track project that explores the darker corners of his mind. Combining horror-inspired production with candid reflections on personal struggles like anxiety and isolation, the album showcases his growth as both a solo artist and a genre-blurring collaborator. The project features notable collaborations with MISSIO, Cody Carson of Set It Off, Jon Lundin of Point North, and Chloe Adams.
