SONG PICK: IRJA - Heavy State of Mind

“Heavy State of Mind,” the new single by London-based Swiss duo IRJA is irresistible from start to finish. While the fragile beginning with moody guitar picking evokes Radiohead’s “Knives Out” or TORRES’ “Polish Welcome,” IRJA’s track quickly intensifies and takes on its very own, mesmerizing turn thanks to the beautiful synths-work. Lyrically, “Heavy State of Mind” deals with the impact relationships, and especially failed ones can have on us.

Colin Lanz (vocals, guitar, synths) and Basil Steiner (drums, synths, backing vocals). The two formed a band, after overhearing one another speaking Swiss-German in a bar in London, which makes for a cool story and was definitely meant to be!
