ERASE THEORY release new EP ‘The Good Kind’ via Icons Creating Evil Art
Features new single / focus track ‘So They Say’
ERASE THEORY, the solo project from Jeff Sahyoun – guitarist of post-hardcore groundbreakers letlive. – has released a brand new EP ‘The Good Kind’ via Swedish indie Icons Creating Evil Art. ‘So They Say’ is its focus track and new single which Sahyoun says “is a melodic exploration of my inner battles. This song resonates with the universal desire to feel content & accomplished. It’s about navigating through the twists of this life and seeking solace in the hope of finding where we truly belong.”
‘The Good Kind’ as a whole tackles much inner dialogue and soul searching. Sahyoun comments that it’s “a collection of soundtracks to my war with derealization, anxiety and depression. This is my melodic summary of the forcefulness of the world’s personal pressure points and the sub-life I reside in to date.”
This EP also showcases Sahyoun’s undeniable flair for the guitar, weaving intricate and hard-edged riffs with the driven and soulful vocal melodies. It includes the previously released impactful title track and lead single ‘Taking a Beat,’ a meditative yet cathartic track which enjoyed play on BBC Radio 1 Future Alternative with Nels Hylton.
ERASE THEORY will round off the year supporting Donovan Melero on various live dates across the US, with Sahyoun throwing himself fully into the live sphere where he thrives.
Six years in the making, 2023 saw ERASE THEORY hit the ground running hard. The project burst onto the international stage with their self-titled debut EP - a brisk combination of spiky electronics, ethereal atmospheres and thrashing emotion. The EP’s tracks received airplay from BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio, Idobi Radio and sweeping support from Pandora alongside glowing reviews from the likes of Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Pop Culture, Guitar World, Metal Hammer and more.
Since then, there have been drum and bass remixes, a collaboration with The Color Fred and further refining of what the band represents for Sahyoun now. He has carved out something extraordinary, pulling from seething punk rock as much as introspective EDM, referencing The Weeknd as much as AFI and not letting silly things like boundaries stand in the way of innovation. This is a project that feels as familiar as it does fresh. It’s a vessel filled to the brim with enthusiasm, thoughtfulness and ambition. A place that he can call home and mold into absolutely anything he wishes.
Sahyoun has recaptured that youthful energy that every artist craves. That rush of adrenaline you feel when you write your first song in your bedroom at 15. Every morsel of music appearing under the ERASE THEORY banner feels exactly like that. And that will never ever change.
