NyxenSydney producer Nyxen will hit the road this August in support of stunning new single Insomnia.
The dark and dreamy new cut is taken from her forthcoming EP, expected for release later this year.
“I’ve gone through episodes of insomnia throughout my life and over the past year it’s something that’s affected me quite a bit, so naturally I wanted to take that experience and write a song that explores the feeling sonically and vocally,” Nyxen said.
“I wanted to try and express the contrast of being super spacey and dazed, with more frustrated and aggressive tones instrumentally.”
She added: “I’ve also been focused on this concept of retro-futurism recently, and have tried to create music inspired by a 1980s vision of a Cyberpunk world.
“This world is gritty and dangerous with never ending cities and skyscrapers buzzing with hover cars. A dystopian world that never sees daylight and is illuminated by neon signs and billboards. A world of extremely advanced technology but decreased standard of living and increase in crime.
“My goal is to sonically create a vision of that world within my instrumentals while lyrically expressing my own lived experiences, in hopes the listener will be transported there or perhaps share a vision of that place when they hear the song.”
