Ross Henry Pushes the Envelope With New Electro Stunner, “Places People”

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.

Ross Henry Releases Dreamy New Single, “The Birds and The Breeze”

Sydney artist Ross Henry has blown me away with his fresh new single “The Birds and The Breeze.” It’s electronic pop, but Ross takes some risks here, with a unique melodic structure, ambient beats, and nature soundscapes carefully woven together to create something so original and irresistible.

Speaking of the track’s inspiration, Ross noted “You can hoard all the oxygen in the atmosphere, water in the oceans, write your name in the sky, build a pyramid or two. However, your name will fade over time. Life as it presents itself will transform and keep on rolling into many other embodiments, as it did long before the idea of ‘you’ came about. It’s all quite funny really. Running away from death has become a very serious style of living. Humour is a wonderful blessing”.

If you love this track, get along to Ross’ intimate single launch at Staves Brewery in Glebe on December 8.
