Sunspire is Jack Jazrawry-Brown from the British countryside (Wiltshire). He currently lives in Birmingham and creates dream pop music with influences of lofi hip/hop from his university bedroom. His debut album "Ruins By The Sea" is set to be released, as a cassette on our label Crafting Room Recordings, in May of this year.
"Wildflowers is one of the more abstract tracks on the album, painting a picture of a night of dimly remembered beauty and vague travels through dark streets. Present too is a more general sense of days slipping past unnoticed, passing through life in a state of meditative calm as the world falls to chaos in the background.
Wildflowers features two primary sounds: swirling glide guitar and heavily chorused synths, tied together by driving sidechained drums and weighty bass. The vocal production is sparse, allowing the lyrics to cut through the flowing wash of sound below. The song is held back in the verse, allowing the lead part to soar when the chorus kicks in."
Written and recorded by Sunspire (Jack Jazrawy-Brown) in university halls, Wildflowers paints a picture of a night of dimly remembered beauty and hazy travels through dark streets. On this track, Sunspire combines his haunting vocals with a fast paced and upbeat style, the result of half a year spent honing his songwriting and production. Throughout, swirling synths and flowing, multi-tracked guitars build to a climactic chorus, with memorable lyrics and a catchy hook-filled melody.
lyrics
I awake, several hours before the dawn
beneath a galaxy of leaves.
strands of ivy whisper through your hair
abandoned fleets on moonlight lakes
maybe, I am waiting to be well
wildflowers fall behind my eyes
and maybe I am dancing with myself
ooh, darling, run away with me
I look at you, with crystal eyes
wait alone as midnight falls away
wander through a garden in the sun
and wait for it to gently fade away
maybe, I am waiting to be well
wildflowers fall behind my eyes
and maybe I am dancing with myself
ooh, darling, run away with me
