Over the course of 2018, Ashton was able to build a decent listener base online, with “Beach Song” garnering nearly 200,000 organic plays on Spotify, as well as over 1.5 million hits on YouTube via Alex Rainbird’s Winter
Compilation. His music has since been met with
encouraging reviews on indie music publications, and a
growing dedicated fanbase.
In March 2019, Ashton released a live-tracked and intimate acoustic EP titled “Ellwood”, followed by 2021’s 4-track project “Nine-Ninety”. York spent a year in Long Beach writing and demo-ing his next full length project,
“Nightmare In Your Arms”, which was released November of 2022. The single Awful Time was premiered ahead of the record by Atwood Magazine and featured an impressive supporting cast including Abby Gundersen and Kyle Crane.
York's third full length record, Loved and Lost, will be released Spring of '26. Stand alone singles for most of the record appeared throughout 2025 as part of a waterfall release strategy and have since been pulled in preparation for a larger campaign effort. Loved and Lost spans ten songs centered around themes like grief and loss, healing, family, and love. His most ambitious work to date, the production, songwriting, and vocal delivery all reflect a maturing artist whose inner world is as rich as the sweeping melodies guiding the listener into a soft, quiet reprieve from the chaotic noise of modern life.
