Spyndycyt took synth-pop to visceral new heights with his introspection-fuelled hit, Change Me from the Inside

The electronica avant-gardist, Spyndycyt, has struck again with the release of his sophomore synth-pop single, Change Me from the Inside. If Frank Zappa had lived long enough to experiment with 8-bit-adjacent production, he would have undoubtedly orchestrated something as ludicrously electrifying as this infectiously unhinged anthem, which almost registers as a lament from a painfully self-aware transhuman organism 100 years in the future.

Change Me from the Inside reverberates with all-too-relatable electro-pop insanity, echoing New Order in its kinetic rhythms which pulsate through the chaos stirred by synthesising a raw emotional undercurrent into tides of merciless electronica which shimmer into distortion with every crescendo.

Each beat and melody reflect a different facet of self-discovery and confrontation from an artist who fearlessly never filters his expression to become an advocate of introspective candour and to perfectly encapsulate his message that lifting the veil on your own psyche is never a comfortable process.

The spontaneously materialised lyrics efficaciously testify to how wrestling with your own autonomy will leave you battle scared; the teeth of self-remonstration and loathing will always sink in, yet, chances are you’ll also meet your own indomitable spirit and come out stronger after the encounter.

Change Me From the Inside was officially released on July 21; stream the single on SoundCloud now.

Spyndycyt entered the industry as a zany indie pop enigma with ‘MysteryBoy’.

Spyndycyt’s seminal single, ‘MysteryBoy‘, kicks off with a short sermonic acapella narration of abstract lyrical poetry before the beat and scintillatingly strobing synths consume the track in true electro-pop style.

Yet, ‘MysteryBoy’ is far from your average pop fare. It fuses Jack White-esque aesthetics with Suicide-reminiscent indietronica and an eccentricity scarcely heard in the contemporary music industry. If Lou Reed lost all sense of restraint and approached his sound with unadulterated expression, you’d undoubtedly be treated to an exhilarant zany hit in the same vein as ‘MysteryBoy’.

Even after this soul-baring release, Spyndycyt remains somewhat of an enigma behind his avant-garde production that’s rampant with infectious zeal. His approach to music is intriguingly unconventional, but don’t get it twisted, though he may blaze through his productions driven by fantasies that far exceed his abilities, the result is a mould-breaking riot of rhythmically-charged euphoria.

His raw, almost naive touch, brings a unique authenticity to his work that seekers of fresh and boundary-pushing hits will want to devour. Break away from the mundane and predictable and hit play.

MysteryBoy was officially released on June 12th; stream the single on SoundCloud now.
