ON HER NEW EPInformation, Lynnae Gryffin uses the jagged sounds of rock music to make expansive, smeared landscapes—much like if she were using the pulpy juice of wild berries as watercolors.
The EP’s four songs temper harsh guitar tones with production effects that sound sampled from windswept moors. Untamed, angular guitar joltingly stops and starts throughout the first two tracks—it’s as though it’s following pages that have been torn from a book and rearranged into a surreal narrative that’s anything but linear.
Gryffin channels Imogen Heap on slow-burning standout “Norah’s Song” with layered, echoing vocals that sound like they’re bubbling up from deep-sea canyons. She repeatedly sings “I did not tame the wild around me” over random bursts of percussion that illuminate new corners of this vast sonic wilderness. It’s the EP’s campfire song, and Gryffin surrounds herself with sprawling, orchestral noises that both dwarf and amplify her voice with booming resonance.
