Seryn

Sometimes a song comes along that is just so good that you are dumbfounded that you haven't heard it before or you wish you had it heard awhile ago so that you could have been listening to it this whole time. Usually within the first 30 to 45 seconds of a song, you can tell whether or not you're going to like it. With Seryn's "We Will All Be Changed", you can tell within the first 20 seconds. It just starts off with a great folk melody and an accordion to bring in some harmonies and then the strong vocals of front-man Trenton kick in and that's when you know this song is special.

Upon first hearing this song I thought it was Fleet Foxes or The Head and The Heart because they fit that sound so well, and that is rather elite company when it comes to indie folk. Their debut album This Is Where We Are was released earlier this year and it's pretty impressive that this is their first album. They've accomplished such a mature sound in such an early stage of the band's life. This album is equally as great from start to finish.

Seryn also have a recent session on Daytrotter, so make sure to grab that in addition to This Is Where We Are for a live version of some of their tracks. Below are a studio and a live version of "We Will All Be Changed", just so you can hear that they don't lose anything in their live performances. In fact, they may even get stronger in their live sets.
