Eco Lavender Vinyl. 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.Says Fennell about his album Nobody Lives Here, "We change, the world changes, and there is so much unknown. About a year ago I started writing songs that represent the change that is happening in front of my face, a group that have emerged to become the third SYML album. Many of these songs are about getting older, and the intimate, and sometimes frightening, passing of time. Some are about how getting older revolves around looking forward to things happening, and when they don't happen, or they feel different than anticipated, we can be left with surprise and sadness. I'm actually reminded of this watching my 2 year old! We learn to live with disappointment.I recorded some of these songs with kids and dogs making noise in the background, and others in silent studios with musicians I've listened to and admired for many years. These songs are meant to be pieces of clothing to wear as you need (or I need). Some are bright and bold and others are gentle, but they were all made with a sense of comfort in mind, even when things feel bleak. My wife jokes that when our friends hear some of these songs, they might think we are not "ok". Thankfully, putting myself inside a sad song is still a good place to feel happy.There's this generally unspoken feeling that musicians don't listen to their own music. That isn't true for me. I love living with my songs because their meaning changes as I change. There is as much fear and beauty in the big questions as there is wonder and possibility in the simple, everyday shit we live through."
