Gorgeous new psych-pop track from Bayonne, processes depression, anxiety, and grief
Just got sent the new single from Texan producer and multi-instrumentalist, Roger Sellers (aka Bayonne). Since his 2016 debut album, Primitives, Sellers has channeled his vast imagination into an elegant and experimental form of electronic pop.
The single, entitled “Multiphase,” begins a new chapter in Bayonne’s sonic journey. It’s synth-heavy, layered with percussion, and features dreamy vocals. But don’t be fooled by dreamy vocals… the process of creating the track was a way of Sellers processing his grief after best nike running shoes the death of his father and an overwhelming struggle with depression and anxiety.
“‘Multiphase’ came from a loop that I recorded on my phone from a Prophet synthesizer years ago,” explains Sellers when talking about the origins of the new track. “I always loved the melancholic, yet hopeful nature of it. It’s about processing grief and feeling overwhelmed with multiple things at once, while also finding solace and comfort with time. At its core, it’s about the heavy emotions that can come with being a human and trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel in times of anguish.”
Have a listen to “Multiphase” below and look out for Bayonne on tour at SXSW this month, and a two-week run supporting experimental pop artist Kishi Bashi later this year.
