Information
SYML is the solo venture of Seattle 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. Fennells latest offering, Nobody Lives Here, marks his clearest, crispest writing. Written, recorded, and produced by him and his longtime collaborator Brian Eichelberger, it is fueled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. But as we accept the presence of loss, we can still welcome others into our space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cellos hum. His sense of humanity is his musical compass. As an artist, Fennell takes license to both gut and be gutted. If the dark inspires the good, thats a good thing to be honest about, he says.He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which includes the multi-platinum song Wheres 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 Elbows 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.With over four billion streams, the multi-platinum artist looks at grief, loss, mortality, and the passing of time directly in the eye, unwavering and harmonious. In 2024, SYML launched the imprint, FIN. Recordings, a collaboration with his label, Nettwerk Music Group, and management Good Harbor Music.
