SYML - Paris Unplugged [Green]

SYML strips everything back on Paris Unplugged, a live acoustic set pressed on 140-gram green vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket.

SYML is the project of Seattle songwriter Brian Fennell, its name taken from the Welsh word for simple, and that idea has never fit better than it does on this record. Recorded at Le Consulat in Paris in 2025, the set finds him joined by Brian Eichelberger, Zawadi Morrow and Kyle Moore, reshaping songs from across his catalog with a particular focus on his third studio album, Nobody Lives Here.

"Where's My Love", the song that first carried his name around the world, arrives hushed and close, and "Fear of the Water" keeps its slow-burning ache intact. "Clean Eyes" shows how much space these arrangements leave for his voice, while a cover of Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over" slips into the set so naturally it almost sounds like one of his own.

The vinyl gathers twelve of the songs across two sides of a single LP, the kind of late-night listen that makes a room feel smaller and warmer.

For fans who know these songs from playlists and screen moments, this is the intimate version, stripped to its bones, and it may well become the favorite.
