Boy Bjorn ~ ‘Alone At The Severance (Dizzy Remix)’

Communion Record’s latest signing Boy Bjorn has had his latest single ‘Alone At The Severance’ given a sprightly, colourful remix by buzzy Canadian Indie-Pop group, and label mates, Dizzy.
Holl is one half of electronic-folk act Foreign Fields, and it’s from his experiences in this band that he has crafted this solo project. At SXSW 2015, aged just 25, Brian was hit by a panic attack while his bandmates were sleeping, beginning one of the most difficult periods of his young life.
He had already achieved a great deal – national tours, festival appearances and releasing a critically acclaimed debut album – but for the better part of his early 20s he struggled with what might be a familiar story for any artist at his age. Self-doubt, estimations, measuring up, counting trophies. It all came to surface in a cheap motel in Austin.
Once on the other side of this panic attack however Brian could take a deep breath, clarity restored for the first time, and imbued with a new sense of perspective.
Born out of a desire to capture moments lost, this project is full of caricatures and stories from the past. Relationships with family members lost too soon. Beauty in the mundane that’s forgotten whilst distracted.
This nostalgic exploration of the past is used to reflect upon and change the way he lives his life today, hence there’s a conversational feel to the lyrics, with the discussion taking place between his younger self and the man he is now.

The Dizzy remix of Boy Bjorn’s ‘Alone At The Severance’ is out now via Communion Records (Dan Croll, Michael Kiwanuka, Twin Peaks).
