Gentry Blue release new single

Over the last few years, Gentry Blue has been making their own mark in the Nashville music scene and beyond. Led by electric violinist and vocalist Lydia Gentry-DeBonis, who’s joined by multi-instrumentalists Brendan Gentry-DeBonis and Sean Jannay, who trade on guitar, bass or drums depending on the recording or performance, the band stitches together the fabrics of progressive and psychedelic rock with catchy pop hooks, creating an original musical experience.

Formed at Belmont University in 2018 under the name Gentry, the band draws from a wide range of influences to build their sound, from Rush and Jefferson Airplane to Fleetwood Mac. The result is a unique sonic output that’s best described as violin gothic rock tinged with the grandiosity of artists such as Muse and Ghost. Since starting out, Gentry Blue has won over audiences with their live performances, seizing every opportunity to showcase their sound. First sharing their sound with the wider world in 2020 via their debut single “What Lies of the Other Side,” the next year they dropped their first EP, Pyrite and Steel.

Now bringing us their second single of the year, they share their latest release with the new track titled “Lose No Sleep.” Lifted from their upcoming debut record, set to drop in September, “Lose No Sleep” continues the band’s exploration of themes surrounding feral women who have committed atrocities, focusing this time on a woman facing a prison sentence.

Written by band members Brendan Gentry-DeBonis and Sean Jannay, mixed by Sean Jannay and mastered by Colby Gustafson of Neato Mastering, the song marks an exciting new sound from the band that sees them lean into an uptempo, gritty approach to their musical offering. From the grooving opening guitar notes, the track then erupts with the strike of drums and bold punch of the main riff before settling into the verse where Lydia’s compelling vocals hover above the shuffle of drums and pulse of bass notes.

Launching into an anthemic chorus, gritty guitars and lively drums collide as the dazzling lead vocals spin instantly catchy melodic stretches above. Flowing with lush backing vocalisations that glide below the emphatic leads and impactful instrumentation, the track’s intricate ebb and flow between the delicate verses, the rousing bursts of sonic energy int he choruses and electrifying lead guitar flourishes.

Memorable and charming from start to finish, “Lose No Sleep” is a stunning display of Gentry Blue’s stellar songwriting talent as well as their vocal and musicianship flair, bringing the composition to life in an engaging and energising way. With their first full-length record coming later this year, Gentry Blue are sure to thrill listeners around the world with their exciting and highly original sound.
