Listening to Bike Routes is a lot like watching a montage from a classic coming-of-age flick.

Illuminated in the glow of warm synths, sparse guitar, and rich beats, you might catch a glimpse of a small town (much like the one you call home), a lovestruck young couple (as they make their escape into a new life), or an extraordinary feat accomplished by a seemingly ordinary person. Set to a soundtrack-esque patchwork of indie, emo, post-punk, and pop, a flurry of memories, experiences, and emotions flicker in and out of focus under the auteur-like direction of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer David Osterhout.

This energy defines his third full-length LP, Prairie [Blue Grape Music].

“For this album, we had two years of careful and precise planning,” says David. “These 11 songs are the perfect encapsulation of what Bike Routes was meant to be from the beginning. Even back when I was playing coffee shops ten years ago, this record is what I’ve been building towards.”

Ever since his childhood, the South Jersey native has harbored an intense and obsessive passion for music. After years of grinding locally with an acoustic guitar, he introduced the world to Bike Routes with his 2020 debut Let It Go. His songcraft naturally evolved across Love Is An Action [2022] and the Rush of Energy EP [2024]. The latter spawned fan favorites “You Want It You Got it” and “World Apart,” which gathered millions of streams on DSPs. Along the way, he developed his stage presence, touring with Hawthorne Heights. Receiving acclaim, Highwire Daze applauded how “He distinctively carves a singularly unique identity all his own.”
