Los Angeles-based alternative pop artist Jei-Rynn shared his latest single “i’m an octopus.” The track is the latest single to be released from his new EP viole(n)t dreams out November 15.
“I’m an octopus” is a dark, absurdist look at life in late stage capitalism, the single by alt singer-songwriter Jei-Rynn paints a strange yet familiar picture of dystopia, with themes rooted in existentialism and hedonism. The song’s morbid humor is coupled with the track’s signature blend of hip-hop and indie.
Produced by Marshall Gallagher, guitarist and vocalist of Teenage Wrist, and drums performed by Anthony Salazar, drummer of Teenage Wrist, “i’m an octopus” is an eclectic production centered on Jei-Rynn’s lyrics and vocals, which range from delicate whisperings to harsh belting at the song’s climax.
Jei-Rynn is also announcing a Los Angeles show at the Moroccan Lounge on November 13 opening for Son Of Mars. Tickets for the show are available here.
The personal resonance of Jei-Rynn’s songs leads listeners to describe them as “journal entries”. His songs are eclectic yet singular, drawing from 90s grunge, 2000s emo and pop- punk, and 2010s indie, Jei- Rynn’s alt-pop style is both hauntingly nostalgic and strikingly new.
