City Slang's latest signee Bayonne shares mesmerising single "Spectrolite"

"Spectrolite" is the sublime lead single - it's a magical, mystical whirlwind of fantastical textures and windswept beauty. It's rich and knotted, full of complex layers that drag you in and never let go; Sellers spouts cerebral psychedelia here, and makes us incredibly excited for November.

Speaking about his musical journey, Sellers cites Eric Clapton Unplugged, which he'd watch on repeat as a kid, as a big influence: “I’d just watch it over and over again. I would get paint cans and bang on them, trying to imitate what I saw in the video. My parents got me a drum set when I was six years old and I became obsessed. I wanted to be Phil Collins for so many years as a child. He was my hero. I feel like you can hear that a lot in Primitives, that big drum sound, because so much of the way I play was learned from Phil Collins.”

Sellers' foray into experimental pop was spurred on by his falling out of love with academic study - he learned classical piano growing up, and studied music theory in college. “It became homework,” he says. “It made me come home and not want to write. That’s not at all how I’d thought about music - it had always been something fun - almost like a kind of therapy. It was an escape, not a chore.”

Primitives will be released 4 November via City Slang.
