PLATINUM-SELLING ARTIST SYML UNVEILS NEW SINGLE “CARRY NO THING”

Multi-platinum selling Seattle-based artist and producer SYML continues the support for his forthcoming new album Nobody Lives Here, which is set for release on April 4th, with the release of the euphoric new single “Carry No Thing”.

“This is an apocalyptic love song”, SYML explains. “The intangible force of love is what we take with us as we move through the chaos. There’s a strange beauty in some of the ways we imagine the world ending. I think it might be that it’s something we would all experience equally at the same time. Whether we run for the hills or submit, we only have the love for each other as the world burns around us.”

“Carry No Thing” mirrors this tension between devastation and devotion, weaving haunting melodies with cinematic, otherworldly production. The vocals, raw and intimate, feel like a whispered confession amidst the chaos, as the song swells to its broad and cinematic finale.

Nobody Lives Here marks his clearest and crispest writing to date. Written, recorded, and produced by him, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. As he accepts the presence of loss, he still welcomes others into his space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cello’s hum. For the new record, his music remains cinematic and visceral, taking the license to both gut and be gutted. “If the dark inspires the good, that’s a good thing to be honest about. All of these characters inside of me are fascinated by the same thing, which is: Why are humans even here and what is this ever-expanding universe that we’re floating through?”

Having sold-out his entire run of intimate acoustic performances to celebrate the release of the new album including London’s Omeara which sold-out instantly, SYML recently announced a huge run of UK and European tour dates for 2025. The tour is sale now (HERE) and includes UK shows in Manchester, London and Brighton. A complete list of dates can be found further below.

With over four billion lifetime streams, SYML is the solo venture of artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for “simple”—he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist.  He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which included the multi-platinum song “Where’s My Love” and the Gold Record fan favorite “Girl.” His 2023 sophomore album, The Day My Father Died, described by NPR as“euphoric,” was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Lucius, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song “Paris, TX,” from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album. In 2024, he launched an imprint, FIN. Recordings, a collaboration with his label, Nettwerk Music Group, and management team, Good Harbor Music.
