SYML announces UK & EU tour dates

Following the recent announcement of his third studio album, Nobody Lives Here, which will be released by Fin. Recordings and Nettwerk on April 4, and sell-out intimate acoustic performances to celebrate the release of the new album including London's Omeara which sold-out instantly, Seattle-based artist and producer SYML has now announced a huge run of UK and European tour dates for 2025. A complete list of dates can be found below.

To mark the announcement, today SYML unveils a stunning live version of the album's first single "Careful" filmed on Vashon Island. The introspective song "Careful," a hymn-like anthem that soars with Fennell's famous falsetto leading the way.

SYML's new record marks his clearest and crispest writing to date. Written, recorded, and produced by him, it is fuelled by the keen understanding that life is a contradiction, a fleeting moment. As he accepts the presence of loss, he still welcomes others into his space with melody, lyrics, a slide guitar, or a cello's hum. For the new record, his music remains cinematic and visceral, taking the license to both gut and be gutted. "If the dark inspires the good, that's a good thing to be honest about. All of these characters inside of me are fascinated by the same thing, which is: Why are humans even here and what is this ever-expanding universe that we're floating through?"

With close to four billion lifetime streams, SYML is the solo venture of artist Brian Fennell. Welsh for "simple" - he makes music that taps into the instincts that drive us to places of sanctuary, whether that be a place or a person. Born and raised in Seattle, Fennell studied piano and became a self-taught producer, programmer, and guitarist. He released his self-titled debut album in 2019, which included the multi-platinum song "Where's My Love" and the Gold Record fan favourite "Girl." His 2023 sophomore album, The Day My Father Died, described by NPR as "euphoric," was recorded at Studio X with renowned producer Phil Ek and features collaborations with Elbow's Guy Garvey, Lucius, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek, and Charlotte Lawrence. His music has become the soundtrack to countless films and TV shows and was used by Lana Del Rey on the song "Paris, TX," from her Grammy-nominated 2023 album. In 2024, he launched an imprint, FIN. Recordings, a collaboration with his label Nettwerk Music Group, and management team, Good Harbor Music.
