SYML - DIM
Release date: Friday, April 16th 2021
Airplay Date: Friday, April 16th 2021
Grief can be messy, painful, and dark, a brutal process that rarely offers straight through its shadows for those mourning the death of a loved one. But for Brian Fennell, the Platinum-selling writer, producer,and multi-instrumentalist behind SYML, he found comfort not only by leaning into his grief, but writing through it.
DIM, his latest EP out April 16, is a “loss exploration” for him, a potent meditation that manages to make even the most personal tragedies feel intimate and universally understood. For the first time, SYML worked with an outside producer, Paul Meany (Twenty One Pilots, LANY, Mutemath)and also had additional mixing support from Joe Visciano (SZA, EarlSweatshirt).Fennell --who released SYML’s self-titled album in 2019, which includedhis breakthrough single, “Where’s My Love” --averages 23 million monthly streams and has had over 50 sync placements in just the last two years. He was on the road with Dermot Kennedy in the spring of 2020 withplans to spend most of the year on tourbefore they were abruptly halted due to the merciless spread of the coronavirus pandemic. At his home in Seattle, he revisited some of the lyrical sketches and compositions he had been working through in the preceding months, all interpreting loss in different manifestations.
“This EP is largely about losing those close to us,” he says. “Calling it DIM really applies to the light we carry during our time here. When those lights go out, it’s this sort of dimming process, but rather than living in that sadness --even though I think that’s a really healthy thing to do, to stay in that cozy, warm blanket sadness sometimes --it’s about honoring what that light was, and realizing that there’s still that same light in all of us that are still here.”
