Melbourne’s Sylvia sounds like four people getting together to play music in a room and that’s exactly what we love about them. Like previous single “Fold Imaginary” (see below), “Wires” was recorded in the storage container the band practices in. Full of wall-of-sound guitar tones, a frantic drum presence, and a shy-but-endearing vocal presence, this quartet certainly embodies their self-imposed genre of “shy-gaze…” They even keep it at a brisk 1:53, as not to overstay their welcome. ICYMI – here’s our write up of a previous Sylvia single, “Fold Imaginary.” Check out “Wires” via YouTube below – you can also find the song on Spotify and Apple Music.

We couldn’t help but love this “shy-gaze” (their words, not ours) from Australia’s Sylvia. Recorded in a literal storage container (where the band practices), “Fold Imaginary” has all the elements of a captivating live performance in an actually listenable package. Maybe we’re just suckers for down-tuned guitars mixed with delicate and endearing vocals, but this one has sincere, late-90s emo vibes a la Rainer Maria or early Appleseed Cast with a hint of modern day fuzz (think Pity Sex). You can also find “Fold Imaginary” on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
