Wryn is an avant/folk singer-songwriter based out of Lompoc, CA. Their latest single, "Snake," is an intense track that pushes the boundaries of folk. The song is overflowing with anger, despite the beauty within the song. It's much louder than a standard folk song, and that's with much of the song only being Wryn's vocals and guitar. It's difficult to make a song with compelling and intense with such a minimalist take, but they pull it off on "Snake." It's all of the angst and aggression of a grunge song in a folk-adjacent package.
Wryn says thaty their latest single is:
“... a call to something older and deeper. It taps into my own personal experiences of not just systemic violence but the intimate and interpersonal kind. Having experienced assault in my past, this song was a way to transform my own pain into a call to action. ‘I can’t wait for an answer before I get free.’”
You can watch the video for "Snake" below. Shapes is due out March 28 on Righteous Babe Records. For more on Wryn, check out the artist's website.
