Hailing from Leeds, Síomónn Wan has quickly established himself as a dynamic creative force with his genre-pushing approach to music making. Refusing to nail himself down, his vast interpolation of genre has given him a unique, psychedelic edge. Back for 2025, he returns with his latest album ‘Rhythm Phantom Poem Requiem’.
Taking the force of creativity into his own hands, Síomónn Wan unveils a project like no other within this new album. Consisting of ten tracks, the album is an exploration of what pop music could be, bringing an excitable, fun-filled consistency to an age that can be considered so musically complex.
Diving into the project, he explains, “Music is my tool for exploring fantasies and expressing thoughts. This record brings to life my childhood vision of cartoon characters accidentally eating a Poisonous Mushroom, juxtaposed with Dostoevsky’s probing questions about reality. Tracks like Poppies use the symbol of my homeland’s struggle with opium as a metaphor for reflecting on modern wars, while Quadruped and Mum Drum draw inspiration from my dog, a classmate, and my mum. Each track dives into a different genre of music, capturing the theme in its own unique way.”
