Matilda Lyn invites you to bathe in a melancholic light on her new EP, "Sunwarmed," her new seven-track EP. The Swedish artist with a penchant for knotty production and emotional songwriting forges a brilliant follow-up to her acclaimed debut, A Bowl of Unripe Fruit.
Soaked in dreamy indie-pop and gilded with a nostalgic wistfulness, Sunwarmed is a sonic hug for those of us reluctant to let the season go. "Sunwarmed" showcases Lyn's increasing command as a producer and performer, blending gentle, otherworldly melodies with stealthy lyricism. Every thread emerges from the memory like a fringe, catching the summer's last gleams and the pain of their looming absence.
Among its many highlights, "No Fun" is a hypnotic blend of crystalline front-and-center production and reflective storytelling, fusing a mellow yet swinging groove with sober self-reflection. "Company" draws on Lyn's signature fragile yet evocative style of vocal delivery, enveloping you in a soundscape that is both welcoming and achingly ephemeral.
Just over 20 minutes long, Sunwarmed is fleeting yet intensely immersive. It is a quick but permanent trip through longing, connection, and the beauty of letting go. Lyn's attention to detail is exquisite, confirming that she is an artist who is not afraid to marry technical perfection with pervasive emotionality.
