Leeds-based singer-songwriter Síomónn Wan is back as he releases his new album ‘Rhythm Phantom Poem Requiem’. Following a string of teaser singles in 2024, Wan is showing no signs of slowing down as he looks set to take 2025 by storm.
Combining an electrifying sense of fun, whilst dealing with meaningful topics, Síomónn Wan defies genre barriers with his emphatic new offering. Extending his vast musical understanding to a full-length album, the ten-track stands its ground as an exciting body of work, complete with psychedelic toplines and sticky pop refrains.
Speaking about the project, he dives in, “Music is my tool for exploring fantasies and expressing thoughts. This record brings to life my childhood vision of cartoon characters accidentally eating a Poisonous Mushroom, juxtaposed with Dostoevsky's probing questions about reality. Tracks like Poppies use the symbol of my homeland’s struggle with opium as a metaphor for reflecting on modern wars, while Quadruped and Mum Drum draw inspiration from my dog, a classmate, and my mum. Each track dives into a different genre of music, capturing the theme in its own unique way.”
