On May 16, the multi-talented Sydney Angel, known by her musical alias sydneyunicorns, will unfurl her second EP, “Show & Tell”. Armed with a veneer of dark-pop electronic influences, the 6-song collection serves as an emotional concoction for the eccentric and the unique. It’s an artfully crafted masterpiece that transforms feelings of alienation into a kaleidoscopic journey of sonic exploration.
sydneyunicorns’ specialty is her ability to blend dreamy alt-pop with theatrical and experimental undertones, giving her music a uniquely whimsical and immersive aura. With “Show & Tell”, she returns to reveal a deeper layer of vulnerability, rebellion, and confessional creativity. Born from the revelation of her neurodivergence while delving back into music academia in her 30s, the EP reframes not only her personal narrative but also invites listeners to acknowledge and celebrate their authentic selves.
Beyond the pulsating electronic beats and ethereal melodies, “Show & Tell” radiates empowerment. Its invitation is clear: validate your feelings, refuse to shrink, and unleash your gifts upon the world unapologetically. This celebration of individuality is a testament to sydneyunicorns’ own story of reclaiming personal magic and power.
Crafted with precision and authenticity, the songs on the EP are either self-produced or co-created with a myriad of talented collaborators, including VREDEN, Sofya Wang, and more. The prominent touch of Thomas Warren and VREDEN in mixing, along with the mastering finesse of Jack Kennedy, ensures that every track is a polished gem waiting to shine.
With tracks like the rebellious 80’s pop-goth anthem “Siren Call”, sydneyunicorns’ invites listeners to dive into the nostalgic call of childhood magic. “Betrayal”, with its infectious pop hooks, and the darkly campy “Mean Girls Live Forever”, echo the whispers of cult-classic film inspiration. The entire EP crescendos with “RIP”, a haunting ode that intricately ties together the collection with visceral emotional depth.
Following her break-out debut, “Manic Pixie Dream”, praised for its ethereal and boundary-pushing soundscapes, “Show & Tell” cements sydneyunicorns as an innovative force in the music industry. The EP promises to defy expectations and transport listeners to a world where the only constant is change—a sonic adventure that is compellingly modern yet timelessly captivating.
Prepare to be spellbound by sydneyunicorns’ musical mosaic as she redefines the parameters of dark-pop with this unmissable new release. Welcome to a world where dreams, darkness, and light collide with exhilarating artistry. Have your imagination set free with “Show & Tell”.
