SYML - You Knew It Was Me - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Forget tall-walking ancestors, a decade in the post-grunge trenches and a viral streaming hit courtesy of an MTV Gen Z drama Brian Fennell has experience of all those, but it's the simple things that move him most. Focusing on the things that matter is how Fennell writes and records under his alias. Simplicity, then, is what moves SYML - pronounced Inchsimmel,Inch it means InchsimpleInch in Welsh. It's what makes his self-titled debut album such a wonder. Mixed by Grammy award winning engineer Joe Visciano (Beck, Adele), SYML is 12 tracks of transcendent dream-pop, synth-rock, folktronica and cathartic, uplifting emotion. All recorded at home, just him and his imagination. And all filtered through an instinctive, genetic appreciation of the valleys and mountains of a corner of distant Britain. The album features breakout single, InchWhere's My Love,Inch and fellow single, InchClean Eyes,Inch a sticky, anthemic track that showcases his ability to write and produce indie-pop songs while staying true to his emotive lyric style and heart-wrenching vocal range.

Novo Amor is Ali Lacey, who began Novo Amor as a project of sorts, an act of defiance in the wake of a break-up, but along the way he found something quite unexpectedly rich and rewarding. Years ago, a summer spent by an evergreen-surrounded lake in upstate New York supplied both the impetus and imagery that he would use to craft his debut album 'Birthplace' (2018), and the follow-up, 'Cannot Be Whatsoever' (2020) in a house in Cardiff that was part home, part-studio. On 'Collapse List' (2024), Lacey reflects on the record and how it Inchspeaks of my recognising what needs to change in my life, from my location, my feelings towards making music, the nature of my relationships and such... It started to feel like a catalogue of personal growth; my own little collapse list. Inch Album Tracks 1. First Place 2. Same Day, Same Face 3. Placeholder 4. Years on 5. Me V2 6. Co-Pathetic 7. Hotel 8. Easy Feeling 9. Land Where I Land 10. Sand & Sky 11. Ornaments 12. Just Another Way
