Buckinghamshire, UK based Nick Byrne blends poignant melancholia and thoughtful lyricism into a contemporary mix of indie-folk. Latest single 'Solstice Sun' is a collaboration with Gloucestershire songwriter Tom Symmonds. The multi-layered composition explores the changing seasons, whilst portraying the cycle of our own emotional experiences – and features Nick's band members Alex Baker (bass guitar) and Andrew Lane (drums) as well as violinist Sophia Bartlett of Tugboat Captain.

'Solstice Sun' is the third of Nick's tracks to be produced by Jake Robbins (Weird Milk, Cusp, Ben McKelvey). 

Previous singles 'Houses' and 'Summer Rain' showcased Nick's ability for heartfelt and introspective songwriting, drawing comparisons with Novo Amor and Keaton Henson. Championed by the likes of Mahogany sessions and BBC Introducing - Nick has drawn praise from indie-folk artist Fenne Lily, and Nigel Clark of Dodgy. Perfoming with his live band he has supported artists such as Declan McKenna, Dodgy, Katie Malco, Night Flight and Low Girl.

Either as UNTER NULL or STRAY, American artist Erica Dunham always stays faithful to the "quality over quantity" motto. She always takes a great deal of pride, attention, care, and patience in her work, never leaving any detail incomplete.
STRAY was neither meant to be a 'light' project, nor was it meant to be 'happy' because Erica's main band UNTER NULL is actually quite angry and pissed off. STRAY kind of reflects the feelings of despair and sadness when that anger wears off.
