maybe, I am waiting to be well
wildflowers fall behind my eyes
and maybe I am dancing with myself
ooh, darling, run away with me

I look at you, with crystal eyes
wait alone as midnight falls away
wander through a garden in the sun
and wait for it to gently fade away

maybe, I am waiting to be well
wildflowers fall behind my eyes
and maybe I am dancing with myself
ooh, darling, run away with me”

Sunspire is Jack Jazrawry-Brown from the British countryside (Wiltshire). He currently lives in Birmingham and creates dream pop music with influences of lofi hip/hop from his university bedroom. His debut album “Ruins By The Sea” is set to be released, as a cassette on our label Crafting Room Recordings, in May of this year.

“Wildflowers is one of the more abstract tracks on the album, painting a picture of a night of dimly remembered beauty and vague travels through dark streets. Present too is a more general sense of days slipping past unnoticed, passing through life in a state of meditative calm as the world falls to chaos in the background.

Wildflowers features two primary sounds: swirling glide guitar and heavily chorused synths, tied together by driving sidechained drums and weighty bass. The vocal production is sparse, allowing the lyrics to cut through the flowing wash of sound below. The song is held back in the verse, allowing the lead part to soar when the chorus kicks in.”

Written and recorded by Sunspire (Jack Jazrawy-Brown) in university halls, Wildflowers paints a picture of a night of dimly remembered beauty and hazy travels through dark streets. On this track, Sunspire combines his haunting vocals with a fast paced and upbeat style, the result of half a year spent honing his songwriting and production. Throughout, swirling synths and flowing, multi-tracked guitars build to a climactic chorus, with memorable lyrics and a catchy hook-filled melody.

I walked to watch the sunset as the leaves fell from the trees
and found myself adrift upon imaginary seas
I wandered through the gateway and I waited by the shore
I let the tide wash over me as I sank once more”

mmmm and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never had a dream like this before
and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never seen you like this before
I’ve never had a dream like this before

a haze of greyish mist appears upon the ruined castle on the hill
what’s it have to take for me to make myself believe that this is real
I see you in my sleep already, it’s only been a matter of days
I stare into your eyes but suddenly I find there’s nothing to say

mmmm and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never had a dream like this before
and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never seen you like this before

mmmm and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never had a dream like this before
and I miss you already, and I wish you were here
I’ve never seen you like this before

I’ve never had a dream like you before
I’ve never had a dream like you before”

“See You In My Sleep” is the third and final single from Sunspire’s debut album. This track is the closer for the album and acts as a summation and conclusion to the wonderful sounds explored throughout its’ runtime. Combining sombre acoustic guitar with reverb laden swirling guitar and whispered vocals creates a beautiful sense of calm and euphoria.

Sunspire is Jack Jazrawry-Brown from the British countryside (Wiltshire). He currently lives in Birmingham and creates dream pop music with influences of lofi hip/hop from his university bedroom. His debut album “Ruins By The Sea” is set to be released, as a cassette on indie label Crafting Room Recordings, May 23rd of this year.

“‘Ruins By The Sea’ is my first fully produced album, and the culmination of two years of songwriting and producing. The first demo for the opening track, ‘Sirensong,’ was completed in July of 2020 in the midst of the UK’s coronavirus lockdown. In comparison to much of the album, this is a rather gloomy track; inspired by myths of sailors lured onto the rocks by the siren’s beautiful song, it reflects a collective time of hopelessness in all of our lives. But, as the album progresses a general sense of hope is established – despite the occasional melancholy of the lyrics, I hope that the overall message is one of joy, a reflection of a year perhaps not so full of despair after all.

The album is a serious departure from my first EP, ‘Euphoria’ – the lo-fi production and vague lyricism of those songs has been replaced by cleaner, catchier songwriting, with new production methods being explored as the album progresses. The addition of a quality microphone to my bedroom studio has been hugely important to the more professional sound of this record; vocals are clear and with audible lyrics, and the inclusion of acoustic guitar on many tracks is a key addition to the sound of the album. In later songs, I also began to experiment with alternative guitar tunings, most notably my own adaption of Nick Drake’s most commonly used open tuning.

Lyrically, this album explores numerous themes – despite the sense of stagnation that 2020 introduced, personally it was a year of change, with a move across the country to the University of Birmingham. A lot of the record deals with the effect of that change, most significantly to relationships with friends and family – while some songs are wistful and reminiscent, there is a continuing sense of joy at life and change taking place, against the odds. Opening up to more personal lyrics has allowed this album to become something intensely meaningful to me personally – a record of the emotions, both painful and uplifting, that I have experienced over the past six months.”

Reviews:

“featherlight male vocals alternating dreamy hums, angsty broods, and intoxicating echoes into a seemingly weightless pastoral atmosphere of tranquil bliss.” – WhiteLightWhiteHeat

“imagine, that this is the last time we are here
floating above the bottomless green
imagine, that this is the last time the waves
are quite like this, quite like this

and what if I am lost in a far off place
where the sun is not the same
and what if I return to a different sky
a strange and distant plane

and ooooh, I can barely picture it
if I could see it then, what now
and ooooh, beneath the opal sky
I watch the distant lives, and mine”
