cryer mya - “Leylines“
London-based cryer mya has just released the chilled, nostalgic indie folk track “Leylines.”
“Leylines” is a lush, indie folk track founded on the warm, intimate tones of acoustic guitar. This mellow texture forms the arrangement’s backbone and beautifully beckons you to get lost in this music. The layers applied on top are effortlessly immersive and almost ambient in nature.
The track’s soothing textures provide a delightfully dreamy dimension to the composition. Atmospheric synth keys weave and retro-toned flute mellotron tenderly adds support as shimmering and jangling layers of electric guitar enrich the dreamy, ambient mood. Helping to push the track forward is an understated drum beat and a warm, pulsing bass.
Gentle, reflective, the smooth vocal of cryer mya strikingly complements the mellow mood. Supported subtly by light harmony layers the performance is simply exquisite. About “Leylines,” cryer mya adds that it was “Written during a period of upheaval and shifting life changes, the song encapsulates the feeling of seeking solace in the spiritual unknown.”
“Leylines” is a rich, dreamy track filled with glimmering, jangling guitar work and nostalgic melodies. It is beautifully light and the more you play it, the more rewarding it becomes. This song would make the perfect addition to your playlist.
