Description
Hip hop-inflected immersive synth psych from Name Sayers frontman Devin James Fry.
Features nonbinary plus-size queer Brooklyn rapper Chris Conde, Denver rapper and circuit bender Otem Rellik, and Chicago jazz flutist Lloyd Brodnax King. The album's title reflects that it is the product of a time (the Covid-19 pandemic) when societal norms broke down and expectations could be set aside. "I wanted a word that felt like both retreat and rebellion," says Fry.
Retrellion is a departure from Devin James Fry's previous sound, which typically featured him fingerpicking a guitar, either alone or in the context of Name Sayers, the adventurous psychedelic rock band he fronts. The new album, which was produced, recorded, and mixed by Fry, features punchy, hip hop-influenced songs that are difficult to classify into a single genre, with otherworldly synths and glitchy electronics throughout.
Early reviews have noted the shift. "Is this post-punk hip hop? We hope so," wrote reviewer Layla Merino of yourEDM.com, noting that with Retrellion, "Fry might even be creating new genres." Some songs, like lead single Black Rainbow, feature collaborations with rappers like Brooklyn's Chris Conde and Denver-based rapper and circuit bender Otem Rellik, while others are solo explorations. All were created using a bank of synthesizers and noisemakers
