BLINDᗺUYER is a producer and artist based in West Sussex who specilises in a brand of electronic music. Inspired by James Blake, Frank Ocean and Travis Scott, BLINDᗺUYER began his musical journey singing traditional folk music in his native Greece, where he spent most of his teenage years.
Discussing the release and his persona BLINDᗺUYER explains:
“With my art director, Aleksandra Giersz, we came up with a concept to form an alter ego that is a contemporary artist who time travels as a teen idol in the late 50’s. The visuals draw inspiration from the 50’s teen era of Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Darrin, Paul Anka and Dick Clark’s TV show. We came up with a concept to completely transform me and bring to life a character that resembles that particular era in a satirical, freaky and slightly nostalgic way. The song explores the dark sinister side of being a teen idol and the struggle of keeping up with a perfect image resolving in falling apart inside whilst projecting a clean cut image on the outside even though mentally everything is rotten. The song is filled with synths, ambient soundscapes and up front vocals in addition to the sinister lyrics that are contrary to the heavy electronic upbeat music that masks the heartfelt lyrics. ‘’
We can’t wait to hear more from this Greek hailing artist, so stayed tuned to his instagram for future updates.
