Nick Byrne – “Solstice Sun”

Nick Byrne and Tom Symmonds’ “Solstice Sun” lands with the kind of quiet confidence that makes you want to replay it before it even ends. It’s two musicians building something together that actually sounds like them. The synths, drum machines, and fingerpicked guitar all lock in with this understated charm, and that tiny charango moment in the chorus is unexpectedly cool.

The vocals are soft but steady, and they carry just enough weight to hold the whole thing together without ever getting in the way. The shifts in mood don’t feel forced either; they feel like they’re coming from people who’ve actually been through the seasons they’re writing about. And shout out to the artwork, it catches that late-day sun feeling just right, it’s a great match for the tone of the track without trying too hard.
