PIERCE Drops Another Hint to His “FLESH” EP with New Track “Tyrant”
If you ever find yourself in an Uber with PIERCE, it’s best to keep quiet. On his new track “Tyrant,” we find out that that the young producer isn’t much of a talker, and more importantly, another puzzle piece of his “FLESH” EP saga. “Tyrant” takes place largely during a car ride, where PIERCE’s Uber driver dryly states that he is “going to go f*ck himself, then” after unsuccessfully trying to make smalltalk while PIERCE is engaged in listening to his own music. It is then that we hear a glimpse of “Tyrant,” assaulting the senses with abrasive basslines and menacing autotuned vocals. The track takes an unexpected turn when a screen of metal indicated that PIERCE’s car has been attacked and he is abducted by his assailants with the faint scream of police sirens in the background. The mystery simply grows deeper with every release from the “FLESH” EP, so take a listen to “Tyrant” and try to predict what happens next in PIERCE’s story.

UK-based duo, Sonny Elliot, share their new single, “Surrender,” the second single off their second EP, a follow-up to their debut EP, Under Covers, released last May. Substream Magazine premiered the track, praising, “‘Surrender’ proves how much atmosphere and feeling you can build in a song with just a couple guitars. The intensity and volume of the song never changes much, but Sonny Elliot subtly tweak the music to create entirely new thoughts and emotional context.
