With the like of Adele, Lana Del Rey and Summer Walker dropping albums these past few months, it goes without saying that it’s a sad girl summer, and avant-garde artist Wrené is joining the party. Breaking the boundaries with her latest ethereal EP “Dark Matter”, the artist effortlessly oscillates between elements of EDEM and pop-rock for the project, while still maintaining her dark otherworldly aesthetic. Gaining our attention with the lead single “Dark Matter”, the artist further delves into the destigmatising of mental health with her own unfiltered perspective.

Speaking on the EP, the artist said, “‘Dark Matter’ is the title track from my 4 track EP that explores lyrical introspection paired with heavy noise, and a thematic motif of outer space. It is musically consisting of electronic textures, modular synths, distorted guitars, and manipulated strings. All of these elements, surrounding an emotive, and at times operatic vocal performance- contribute to an atmosphere that is eerie and vastly haunting. Each song is a representation of inner emotional turmoil, and the dialogue within- coming to light as a catharsis in times of social isolation. Dark-Matter is self-written, produced and performed. It features Devlin Flynn on guitar, backing screams/vocals, additional synth, and with mixing by Bernie Cisternas.”
