Barcelona front man Brian Fennell’s solo project, SYML, allows him to explore more pared-down, singer-songwriter fare that he’s recorded at his basement studio just outside Seattle in Issaquah, Washington. Moodier and more heavily textured than his work in Barcelona, SYML debuted in 2016 with an EP, Hurt for Me, which he’s now followed up withIn My Body, out last week – both EPs contain the track, “Where’s My Love,” which makes an excellent example of the hushed-but- emotionally-charged territory Fennell’s in with SYML. The word SYML means ‘simple’ in Welsh – a nod to Fennell’s roots, with which he’s only recently become connected having been an adopted child. He brings unannounced special guests with him to the Tralf Music Hall on Monday, January 22. Doors are at 7pm and, as the show is sponsored by 107.7 Alternative Buffalo, tickets are $1.07 in advance and $10 at the door.
