Enigmatic trio KYLYPSO unveil complex debut single “Deep Blue”

28 February 2018, 11:42 | Written by Aaron Powell

The group from Bow in East London embellish indie electronica with sparkling synths and syncopated guitars to create rich and engaging music for the modern age.

KYLYPSO are a group of artists who set out to make their own world using all available creative processes at hand. Collaborating with local skateboarders, film-makers, tennis players and making their own zine are just a few of the ways the band are trying to make their mark.

Their first offering is the vast and expansive “Deep Blue”, an intelligent arrangement full of character and a great demonstration of a group heading towards their own distinct sound. Speaking about the track the band said We loved the idea of the colour deep blue to represent the “ideal” you hold someone to at the beginning of a relationship. The song sits in a moment where reality is eroding this image, but it is a beautiful thing to fight for. We also wanted to bring in some ideas of living in the moment and diving into things fully, even with risk of being hurt. Musically, we took this idea to try to write parts of the instrumental to a “blue sky” or “deep sea” theme, almost approaching the song visually. We love the idea of approaching a song at these kind of angles.

“Deep Blue” is out 1 March.
