Presenting incredibly unique quirky artist Stergin, and his brand new project “Here”
Stergin, the eclectic indie artist known for genre-bending explorations, is set to release brand new EP “Here”.
Written over a reflective and wildly creative 10-day residency on the Atlantic island of Gomera, “Here” embodies the joy and curiosity of its surroundings—surf pop vibes, playful synths, and dreamy vocal choirs.
With only a laptop, microphone, mini keyboard, and beat-up guitar, Stergin has crafted songs that are fun, whimsical, and textured with sounds both intimate and psychedelic. Expect indie rock and twee pop riffs, mingling with surf and chamber psychedelic twists—a mix aptly being named “Napoleon Dynamite in band form”.
The EP’s track, “Roly Poly,” captures a memorable moment from Stergin’s island life. Each night, he encountered a troop of tiny centipedes (affectionately nicknamed Roly Polies), which he carefully escorted outside before bed. “At first, I was a bit horrified,” Stergin laughs, “but eventually, we made peace. Now they have a song!”
Each track on “Here” will launch individually on streaming platforms starting 24th January 2025, released every six weeks, alongside the full EP also available for download on Bandcamp from 24th January. Listeners can expect music to dance to, dream with, and escape into…
“Here” isn’t just an EP; it’s an invitation to get lost in music inspired by wind, waves, and an artist’s journey through grief and joy.
This is the beginning of Stergin’s wild quest, offering a light, quirky, and soulful sonic adventure.
