‘paradigm’ by heron – a friend of the blog – pulses into action from the off. it’s punchy and opens up like a city at midnight. all neon-lit, restless, and full of frantic beauty, the vocals glide over a production that stuns, with saturated synths and psychedelic textures.

based in liverpool, it’s great hearing heron’s blend of experimental synth-pop again. which at times remind us of the best bits of devo and maybe a touch of dutch uncles too. it’s just really good to hear pop that moves, shines and faces forward, all around a reflection on growth, love, and the courage to let go.

this latest single is part of his unfolding album underground sky, and it stands as one of his catchiest yet – an ecstatic push forward that invites you to embrace the shift.

thank u for making this heron ❤️
