Premiere: Layzi “finally” shares new single
Announces new EP between Out July 12th via Born Losers Records
08 May 2024
Layzi is the project of Boston-based indie singer/songwriter and producer Carissa Myre. Myre debuted the moniker in 2020, making the intimate and relaxed bedroom pop by dipping into Myre's DIY output. He has since shared his 2021 EP, What remains to be lost, followed by a string of singles, including her latest effort, “Close 2 U,” which arrived earlier this year. Today, she's back with news of her second EP, between, out July 12 via Born Losers Records. Accompanying the announcement, he also shared another new single, “Finally,” which will premiere with Under the Radar.
With “finally” Laizi plays in a similar restrained and dreamy atmosphere as her last single, but infuses it with a sharp, sharp undercurrent. A thick bassline drives the track, interlocking with syncopated guitar lines for a mesmerizing watery groove. Myre dresses up the instrumental with shimmering synths and lo-fi-tinged production, delivering her vocals in a suitably lazy croon. The track's standout moment comes in its second half, when Myre's vocals drop and are replaced by a dreamy guitar solo, transporting the listener to the beach without ever leaving their bedroom.
Layzi says of the track, “Writing 'finally' was my melodramatic way of handling a long-distance relationship that I knew would inevitably fail. I wanted the lyrics to capture the overall feeling of longing to be with the person you love and how those feelings can be quite disruptive to your everyday life.”
