Edinburgh-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Cyrano has released the thoughtful new dual-single ‘Afterburns’, alongside a personality test for listeners to be directed to either the introverted or extroverted version of the release. On both renditions, listeners will find Cyrano’s smooth, distinctive voice deliver dreamy melodies, enveloped by atmospheric instrumentation. The song carries an almost meditative, healing quality as the poetic lyricism guides us through the song’s stream-of-consciousness style.
Cyrano says of the release: “When I was living in Singapore, I was reading a book by Susan Cain called ‘Quiet’ about introversion and extroversion. At the same time, I was listening over the various mixes I’d been sent of Afterburns and I started to feel these qualities within two of the mixes. One felt like the type of song you’d want to sing along to in a festival crowd while the other felt like one for your earphones, and a moment for yourself.”
Produced by Foals’ percussionist Kit Monteith, ‘Afterburns’ marks the third instalment from Cyrano’s upcoming debut EP, Consolations. The single follows on from his recent afterparty anthems ‘Collateral’ and ‘Tundra’, which saw the Scottish producer achieve a second consecutive Hype Machine Number 1 and be named The Scotland on Sunday’s Artist of the Week. We can’t wait to hear more from this promising artist.
