British-born, Sydney-based muso Ross Henry pushes the boundaries with his experimental electro-pop single “Places People.” The song certainly takes some risks with melody and sonic expression, but Ross’ haunting voice anchors it beautifully.
“Over time we can begin to solidify, become trapped, incapacitated, stuck in our roles. At the peak of the toughest parts of life it’s helpful to remember how malleable it all is,” Ross explained of the single’s inspiration. “When we wear ourselves loosely, it gives us room to work with the infinite beauty and simultaneous suffering on the journey. It also gives us space to connect with anyone behind it all. Occasionally I need a reminder of this. I’d love to think this track could serve to help others too”.
Ross is currently in residency every Thursday night at Newtown’s 1989 Bar. Catch him on the 21st or 28th to hear more from his forthcoming EP.
