Fade into a dream state with Cyrano's new single "Afterburns" - Out October 12th 

In the digital age there aren’t many artists brave enough to release a 6-minute single, let alone two versions at the same time. For Cyrano, the process of writing his meditative and dreamy new single ‘Afterburns’ became a kind of therapy, as he pens the thoughts not shared and the words not said in his breakup.

“To me, the Afterburns of a relationship is when the coals are on the fire, and you’re wondering whether to give it another stoke for a flame. If you spend too much time thinking, it’ll just fade away” shares Cyrano.

On Afterburns, the Edinburgh based producer and multi-instrumentalist cycles between short, assertive lines and longer, more delicate phrases to lament the indecision in his relationship.

“I wanted Afterburns to personify my feelings, from the lyrics and melodies to its length and flow. The whole track is one big thought, and the most idiosyncratic song of my music for the late night overthinkers.”

Alongside the release, Cyrano has created a 12-question personality test for listeners to identify if they are introverted or extroverted. Depending on their answers, they will be diverted to the Introverted or Extroverted mix of the track.

Take Cyrano's Personality Test over at www.cyranomusic.com

“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 named The Scotland on Sunday’s Artist of the Week.

Cyrano will round off his year by joining Leif Erikson on a UK tour, as he looks to hit the ground running in 2022.

Afterburns Lyrics:

I worshipped you and God wasn't real
So if I missed a prayer would we know how you feel?

If I told you all my fears darling would we still be here in the afterburns?

We know silence doesn't heal; it's a force to turn us in the afterburns

I thought you never wanted, I thought you never needed somebody?
Cos all I ever wanted was the words in your eyes...

As I picked you up and down, while the band played 14 crowds, could it hit me harder?
Hit me harder

As I built you up just to let me down, I never really thought the space would make you hit me harder...
Hit me harder

And I see my sun set affection in another direction...

If you told me all your fears I could've figured you out

I thought maybe we were in a hold up, and then you let me go...

While the band played 14 Crowns would you let me love you, again?

Cyrano decants his debut single “White Wine” - Out March 24th

Cyrano’s debut single White Wine is one of immediate friendship; on fleeting moments with consequential strangers who shift your worldview in one late-night conversation. The track celebrates those spontaneous hours of connection with people who enter your life, at just the right moment.

Dreamt up in his bedroom, the London based producer and multi-instrumentalist crafted White Wine in the twilight hours, soundtracking late nights and long drives home from the studio.

Teaming up on production with Oli Barton-Wood, whose credits include Nilüfer Yanya, James Blake and Blaenavon, the track also boasts notable collaborations with Jazzi Bobbi on sax and BVs, and Leif Erikson’s Sam Johnston on guitar. Cyrano takes the lead on vocals, while playing Rhodes to his MPC beats.

Cyrano is the medium for sharing the music and words that for years have been for only the artist himself, echoing the theme of the play Cyrano de Bergerac - the inspiration behind the project.

It’s the evenings that Cyrano feels most creative. In his own words, “there’s something quite alluring about those early hours; the ambience and tranquillity provides a soft focus, away from the modern-day distractions of the world’s routine. I’m forever chasing the hours of night when time becomes elastic and I lose myself in the space of sound.”

This is Cyrano’s debut, having been premiered on Jess Iszatt’s BBC Introducing radio show. Alongside a UK tour with Leif Erikson, 2021 will see an exciting and diverse range of material to follow, including his debut EP, Consolations.

To celebrate this release, Cyrano has partnered with Garçon Wines to design a limited edition, carbon conscious bottle of white wine. The collaboration personifies the track, reminding you to reach out to those you miss.

White Wine is a testament to graft, perseverance and a dream realised.

White Wine lyrics

I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we were focused
I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we could focus

Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine
Trying to find my truth in wine
Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine

I didn’t think I could help you
I didn’t think we were focused
We had a drink with our emotions
And pushed the night ‘til it broke us

Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine
Trying to find our truth in wine
Cos I never wanted anybody’s heart but mine

It happens so fast,
Like I’ve known you all this time
Stay and we could figure it out,
Lost in our white wine

We were lost in white wine baby
Lost in our white wine

Cyrano transcends with atmospheric new single "Collateral" - Out September 3rd

Collateral is indie for dusk - a coming of age track embodying themes of independence, introspection, and the subconscious mind. Co-produced with Foals’ percussionist Kit Monteith, Cyrano has crafted a late-night ballad that builds to an ending any band would be proud of.

Fusing the sounds of Japanese taiko drums, lo-fi guitar and floating synths, Cyrano’s confident vocal guides Collateral to an emphatic close. The track began in response to hearing Jai Paul’s Str8 Outta Mumbai while lyrically, Cyrano takes inspiration from Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club.
 
“Collateral has always felt like one big epiphany to me. Like Fight Club, the lyrics are meant to be a shared conversation with both a lover and with myself. It’s about those feelings of reliance and dependency on someone else, while striving for independence and autonomy over oneself. I wanted to personify those parallels in the structure, moving from verse - chorus to chorus – verse, and ending with a moment of self-actualisation.” – Cyrano

While 2021 will see Cyrano embark on a UK tour with Leif Erikson, Collateral marks the second instalment from Cyrano’s forthcoming EP, Consolations. The single follows on from his recent afterparty anthem Tundra, which saw the Scottish producer achieve a second consecutive Hype Machine Number 1 and named The Scotland on Sunday’s Artist of the Week.

Collateral Lyrics:

If I had a conscience to clear, I'd come to you
As I filled your heart with my fears, I relied on you
To show me, show me release
You give me, give me release

I make it harder for you to love me
You make it harder for me to care

"Tundra" continues Cyrano's journey through late night tranquility - Out July 16th 

Cyrano welcomes listeners into the idiosyncrasies of his indie for dusk with new single Tundra: an honest exploration of social anxiety, personified in left-field beats with electronic soul. Consoling us with the constant lyrical mantra “but I’ve never really lost my mind”, the Scottish producer and multi-instrumentalist reminds us to battle on when things feel like they’re falling apart.

Sharing the production duties with Foals’ Kit Monteith, the pair experiment with the sounds of artists like Arab Strap, J Dilla and Young Fathers to carry us through multiple genres, from 90s techno to 00s hip hop.

While Cyrano’s voice confidently glides within melodic tapestries, eclectic samples combine with heavy beats to leave the listener in sonic hypnosis.

“I wanted to make a track so chaotic, that could mirror the oscillating and often unpredictable feeling of social anxiety, and the journey it can take you on. Our aim was to break our beats and the norms of a song structure to keep things as irrational as life itself when these feelings arise.” - Cyrano

Cyrano celebrated the release of his debut single “White Wine” by collaborating with Garçon Wines, personifying the track in a limited-edition flat bottle of wine which sold out in just half an hour. As well as landing a Hype Machine Number 1, the track received strong support from BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio.

While 2021 will see Cyrano embark on a UK tour with Leif Erikson, Tundra marks the first instalment from his upcoming debut EP, Consolations, and a taste of what the multi-faceted musician has to offer.

Tundra Lyrics:

I've been here before
Holding up time
Oh I'm holding up the line

As I hold your hand inside tonight
I don't understand why it's me that I can't find

When I fall apart
I hope you'll be there

But I've never really lost my mind

Living in a Tundra
I was out of touch
Counting on a number
I know I'm hard to find

Living in a Tundra
I was out of touch
Counting on a number
I've never really lost my mind

But I've been here before
Whenever I lean out
I told the guard

Said I'd never let the start
Try to take out the hope in me
Fooling all of my faith
With signs that you care

When I fell apart,
I hoped you'd be there
Taken from the start,
A hole in my square

It's not that I'm a heart
Who has to be cared for
When we were apart
Why weren't you there?

Oh I fall apart
But I've never really lost my mind

Tundra

Cyrano shares debut EP 'Consolations' including vulnerable new single ‘Plaster’ - Out November 12th

After releasing three Hype Machine Number 1 singles already this year, and being named Artist of the Week by The Scotland on Sunday, Edinburgh based producer and multi-instrumentalist Cyrano shines on his debut 4 track EP, Consolations.

In 2021, Cyrano quickly established himself as the soundtrack to late nights and long drives. Co-produced alongside Foals’ Kit Monteith and Luke Smith (FKA Twigs, Keaton Henson), Consolations carries us through multiple genres, fusing elements of ambient techno, 00s hip hop and left-field pop.

While its sonic influences range from Arthur Russell to D’Angelo, Bon Iver to Talk Talk, the concept behind the EP was inspired by Alain de Botton’s book “The Consolations of Philosophy”. Finding the book consoling for its discussion on ancient philosophers’ outlook on life’s various struggles, and their remedies for coping, Cyrano knew he wanted to write a body of work that could lift people in the same way.

On Consolations, Cyrano discusses similar themes - from anxiety and depression, to love and growing older. Each track is written with the aim of consoling the listener, and the tracklisting follows the arc of a night, from dusk until dawn.

Opening the EP is Tundra; an honest exploration of social anxiety, personified in leftfield beats with electronic soul. While Cyrano’s voice confidently glides within melodic tapestries, eclectic samples combine with heavy beats to leave the listener in sonic hypnosis.

Plaster will accompany the EP release, jumping straight into the sea of turbulent vulnerability. Inspired by The National’s Matt Berninger lyrical milieu, Cyrano explains, 

“Plaster is probably me at my most vulnerable, but I think that’s why it’s one of my favourite songs I've written. The first line “Locke halts; he’s got my head in a river drawn out starting to shiver” describes a moment in counselling where I felt completely broken. Locke is someone I owe a lot to for pulling me through, and Plaster is for anyone struggling and an admission of strength through weakness. As difficult as life can feel, there’ll be a moment where you come through, towel dry and seeing the past in hindsight.”

Collateral is a journey of self-actualisation. In response to Jai Paul’s ‘Str8 Outta Mumbai’ and taking notes from Chuck Palahniuk’s ‘Fight Club’, the song fuses Japanese taiko drums with lo-fi guitars. There’s a duality to the lyrics, which feel like a conversation with a lover, but are really an internal dialogue with oneself.

Latest single Afterburns closes the EP. The process of writing the meditative and dreamy track became a kind of therapy for Cyrano, as he laments the indecision in his relationship at the time. Released as a double single, Cyrano also created a 12-question personality test for listeners to identify if the Introverted or Extroverted mix of the track is best suited to them.

Cyrano’s fifth and final consolation is the EP artwork itself - a photo of constellations to encapsulate the idea that the universe is so much bigger than ourselves, so we should remember to enjoy life for what it is.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Plaster Lyrics:

Locke halts
He's got my head in a river, drawn out starting to shiver
As I'm let loose, his hands are by his side
This is ocean where's my tide
I can hide my face, as I keep myself awake
As I hold my head, I feel my body shake

So I thought to myself tonight
How'll I get through the night
All by myself?

So I thought to myself tonight
Towel dry wishing hindsight
What is my health?

Thought I never wanted,
Thought I never needed somebody

Locke starts again;
Still a river flows and I can't let this feeling go
"Shut up man!"
He takes me to one side
"Hey, I'm open to your tide"
I can hide my face as I try to place any hope I had aside
Or I could call him up when I'm in need of some light
