TINY DESK TRACKLIST
“FOMO”
“Fall Into Me”
“So Familiar”
“Millions”
“Ginny”
At the end of July, Sylo released his album Dreamt that I Was via The Orchard. Loungey, sultry, and all around experimental, Sylo’s newest offering, executive produced by David Tanton (Afternoon Bike Ride), unfolds around the listener. Thoughtfully plucking all the beauty from the mundane, Sylo wields a voice with the viscosity of honey, leaving his fingerprint of intimate care on every second of his music — Stream.
The overarching theme behind this body of work is linking his childhood to who he is in the present moment. Sylo has existed through countless life stages, but the version of himself in this exact time wants to reach people with this exact grouping of songs. This motif perfectly ties into the project's artwork, a grab of young Sylo in a film called Bulletproof Monk.
In the months since, Sylo has been out on his headline tour of both North America and Asia. Returning from Taiwan a couple weeks ago, he also brought his live show to major markets including New York, his current home of Toronto, South Korea and more.
