The project Bayonne, spear-headed by Roger Sellers, has returned with new Psych-Pop single, “Multiphase,” arriving via Nettwerk. The dreamy song sets out to “translate the process of grief.” Even with such a heavy subject matter, “Multiphase” is cinematic and dance-oriented.
Roger Sellers shares:
‘Multiphase’ came from a loop that I recorded on my phone from a Prophet synthesizer years ago. I always loved the melancholic, yet hopeful nature of it. It’s about processing grief and feeling overwhelmed with multiple things at once, while also finding solace and comfort with time. At its core, it’s about the heavy emotions that can come with being a human and trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel in times of anguish.
The message of “Multiphase” was inspired by Sellers’ experience after seeing his mother grapple with his father’s death a few years prior.
Sellers says:
This song is mainly just a reflection on how much grief can affect our lives and finding comfort with time.
On February 26, Bayonne will embark on a handful of tour dates, including stops at Noise Pop Festival in San Francisco with electronic post-rock band Pinback, SXSW Music Festival in March, and a two-week run supporting experimental pop artist Kishi Bashi this Spring.
