With His Debut Album, The Seed, M. Byrd Inspires Evolution

On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, the debut album from German-based singer-songwriter M. Byrd, The Seed, is meant to plant a seed and encourage listeners’ evolution.

The Seed

Byrd’s debut album, The Seed, is meant to plant a seed and encourage listeners’ evolution by expanding moments of stark intimacy to widescreen proportions bolstered by shoegaze scope.

To me, personally, it was sort of a process of healing that I thought would be worth sharing. Listening to the whole album reminded me of holding a seed in my hands. It felt like the start of something and symbolized birth in times of chaos. The album, we decided, had to be called nothing more and nothing less – The Seed. There’s a lot of space in between the notes. It’s a mixture of intimate moments and wide horizons. It’s inspired by the Laurel Canyon sound, but we have the big guitar and drums. The lyrics enrich the sonic experience with vivid imagery.
