Introducing Rainn Byrns having spent the early part of his life moving around the world, Rainn has absorbed a wide range of musical influences, citing Jonathan Richman for his honesty in his songwriting, Japanese artist and producer Haroumi Hosono for his astounding versatility, Lou Reed and Brazilian music from the 1920s to 1970s as all key points of inspiration. As well as singing and playing all the instruments on his self-produced recordings, Rainn has taken the time to put together a band of like-minded souls to take his music to a live audience. Having eventually persuaded school friend Tom to join him on drums, he then met guitarist Felix after an evening of bonding over guitar amp lust and love for lo-fi music. Lastly, Nicole offered to stand in on bass when they were offered a sold-out support for New Zealand legends The Beths. After learning the bass from scratch in just one week she decided to fully commit – and so the perfect live band was formed. This ‘crappy-go-lucky’ character, who by the way is on the fence regarding the existence of UFOs (you’ll have to ask him), has an innate talent for writing from the heart with total honesty, even if it’s a bit ugly sometimes, catching a mood that is sometimes full of sadness but equally hopeful. Following the release of his newest single “Big”, he projects a captivating sound that will certainly grasp your ears. Starting with bright instrumentation leading onto his sweet and ear-catching vocals he captures the song fully. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about coming to terms with arriving in a city much bigger than you & working in a dead-end job while others seem to be ‘making it big!. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you dancing and singing along to the lyrics. It would be just great for a drive during sunset or a day out on the beach. Go stream “Big” and check out his discography which is filled with astounding tracks.
