sydneyunicorns excels on immersive debut EP, "Manic Pixie Dream"
Completely adventurous and groundbreaking within its production, sydneyunicorns has completely blown us away with her debut EP, Manic Pixie Dream. Please read on for a closer look into the record, in addition to a much needed background on this talented artist.
Currently representing the music scene in Los Angeles, sydneyunicorns has taken creativity to the next level in her musical endeavor for EP, Manic Pixie Dream. Immediately, the listener is immersed in a dream-like sequence that embodies the art of artists like Grimes, Yeule, and more. In her case though, she’s still managed to create something impeccably unique that pushes the dream pop genre forward in almost unexplainable ways. Without a doubt, we’re highly recommending everyone check out this record.
Coming in at 4 total tracks, spanning right around 12 minutes in length, sydneyunicorns’ Manic Pixie Dream is this short burst of immense emotion and passion wrapped up into a musical explosion. Lyrically speaking, she’s centered these songs around an exploration through “mental health and experiences during the pandemic”. Like so many who went through their own situations, including us, it’s seriously a breath of fresh air to know that you’re not alone and everyone else is going through it too. We’d urge everyone to attempt to make the connections within her words in order to further break down those lyrical themes.
While the context of the record is obviously deep, it’s no surprise to say that the highlights and milestones come directly through in its song structure and rich production. Entirely self-produced by sydneyunicorns which is a major feat of its own, listening to this with a nice pair of headphones is a requirement so as to not miss out on the subtleties. Specific tracks like the opener “Manic Pixie Dream” and “Take Me” flourish and become alive with how much depth there really is. With the help of her dynamic vocals to help shape the tone, mood, and atmosphere, each song creates its own little world that still feels cohesive in the grand scheme of the entire EP. For us, it’s one of those listens that is simply going to get better on repeated journeys, mainly because there’s no possible way a human could break down everything that is being presented to them through one listen.
Plain and simple, we loved this, and we know you will too! Go ahead and check out those links below in order to listen, follow along, and of course to keep up with all future releases and information. Enjoy!
