Bryn Battani at Amsterdam Bar & Hall

There’s a lot to unpack here. Celebrate Bryn Battani’s third EP—it’ll be moody and meandering, brooding and bitter and playful, with plenty of improvisatory moments and a lot of good discomfort to go around. With guests NATL PARK SRVC, Nina Luna, Squinny.

—Slyly intense and disarmingly earnest, Bryn Battani weaves clever, tongue-in-cheek lyrics with vibrant arrangements.

Influenced by artists like Fiona Apple, Andrew Bird and Regina Spektor, she supports her writing with genre-bending “chamber pop” instrumentation colored by her theatrical background and Western roots. Growing up in Austin, Texas, Bryn immersed herself in the area’s dynamic music scene, co-producing her debut EP All I Have to Offer You Is Anything You Want with Curtis McMurtry and Diana Burgess (of Austin’s Mother Falcon) in 2020. Her self-produced third EP Guest Room explores discomfort and rejection through colorful instrumentation and adventurous song structures, serving up a strong dose of wit and dose of self-awareness.
