Following on from his latest single ‘B.E.C (Baconeggandcheese)’, Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L has shared new single ‘K.O.H’.

‘K.O.H’ immerses the listener in Breon’s swirling world of melodic R&B with the hedonistic elements of Hip-Hop and deeply personal bars. Opening up about feelings of love and attraction, Breon invites the listener into his ‘kingdom of hearts’.

New project ‘B4’ sees Breon at his best- dark beats, with laidback instrumentation that lets his lyrical prowess do the talking. The NYC artist moves from buttery-smooth melodies with a questioning of the world he finds himself in, to delivering bars about lavish lifestyles and his love for his home city.

Discussing ‘B4’, Breon S.Y.N.D.E.L reveals: “Love is a strange thing. An Intense thing. I realize people love in different ways than I do. I’m still trying to understand that. I’m not the best at it, but I try.”

After Breon was involved in a drag racing accident, he found himself questioning his path and became intensely focused on his music, spending hours upon hours in the studio. It’s clear to see Breon has spent years refining his craft to create his own footprint in the music industry. His cocktail of influences creates a package which includes smooth flows and mellow tones accompanied by trap beats and minimalist melodies, and lyrically held together by vivid pictures.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.

At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.

Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.

Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.

Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
