The track showcases a really engrossing chemistry between the two artists
Armed with a stellar, stripped-back sound and a thoughtful, alluring quality that immediately puts you at ease as a listener, Nick Byrne‘s intricate and melancholy indie-folk sound is one that does a great job of capturing a emotions and feelings in a way that feels authentic and real, making for these vivid and moving listening experiences that stick to you as a listener beyond your experience with it.
The artist’s latest single ‘Solstice Sun’ is a collaboration with Tom Symmonds and a powerful showcase of this appeal, with the artists utilising a gradually shifting sound to mirror the changing on the seasons, and how in turn they change our own emotional experiences as we move with them. There is a really understated and charming nature to the track as a whole and the chemistry and sense of oneness between the two artists makes for a really seamless and engrossing listening experience that gently sweeps you up in its warm, reassuring allure.
Reflecting on the project Nick comments: “Solstice Sun walks you through the cycle of the seasons, but it’s constructed using some memories, like spending a summer’s night on the beach, and other more abstract, imagined scenes.”
“For me songs about nature instantly immerse us in a specific place as well as help make us feel connected – both to the natural world and each other – making us feel less alone.”
