NADA MAIS OF LYRN

‘Nada Mais’ is the new single from Of lyrn, a London-based band with roots in the Black Country. The band have forged a warm, unique sound that traverses both English and Brazilian music, with lyrics moving between the languages of both countries. Through strings, nylon guitars and reeds, the band blend experimental textures and hints toward melancholy bossa nova. Singer Alec Madeley says: “The song talks quite tensely about that feeling of release - why does it have to be so arduous and slow? The exhaustion from a slow unravelling is something we wanted to capture.” Keep an eye out for more from these exciting newcomers. -Dan Peeke
