Calypso: Calypso EP

Calypso: Calypso EP

Just recently we were treated to an impressive debut single from a newcomer out of Tasmania who goes by the name Calypso. The track was called -Numbered' and it was said to be just the first taste of her upcoming debut self-titled EP.
 
The ep is a combination of old and new material. Calypso began writing some of the parts a few years back when she first began experimenting with electronic music. Over time these ideas grew and evolved as her influences changed and she discovered more about her own musical direction - she's also been busy releasing music as one-half of SLOW. This year Calypso felt she was ready to make a decision on the final selection of songs, which she then sent through to a producer known as KOWL to help get them polished-up and ready to release.
 
'I suppose the main themes behind the EP would be growth and change…whether that's within a relationship or within oneself. I think it's a reflection on how life is constantly moving, and you have to adapt to your surroundings and learn how to survive through the changes.
 
The EP is also about the push & pull of love, how we can connect with other people and how we can move apart from one another as well. I hope the EP can take the listener on a bit of a journey, as they connect and relate to the words and the music through their own personal experiences" – Calypso
 
Calypso has indeed delivered an impressive debut collection of tracks, showcasing her strong indie-electronic/electro-pop sound as each track explores the intricacies of relationships; the happy beginnings, the excitement throughout, and sometimes the inevitable end.
 

 
The 'Calypso EP' will be available from iTunes and Spotify on June 29, and if you missed it recently here is the Raef Sawford-directed music video for the lead-single -Numbered'.
