SYML. That's Brian Fennell, a songwriter and classically trained pianist out of Seattle, who used to front the indie band Barcelona. SYML is the Welsh word for 'simple', a nod to Welsh roots he found as an adult. Spacious, piano-led songs with strings and a hushed, soaring voice, on SYML (2019), The Day My Father Died (2023) and Nobody Lives Here (2025). And get this: Lana Del Rey built her 2023 song 'Paris, Texas' on his piano piece 'I Wanted to Leave', and he's the featured artist on it. 'I Was Stone' came out as a studio single on September 18th, 2026.
