New Audio: Lyfe Indoors Shares Slow-Burning and Woozy “Binary Crime”

Started back in 2014, the bedroom pop project Lyfe Indoors has received attention across both the cognoscenti and the blogosphere for a handful of self-released EPs and singles that see him pairing poetic lyricism, esoteric and alluring imagery with a synth-driven sound drawing from dream pop, shoegaze and New Wave.

Afer a brief hiatus, the rising bedroom pop producer returns with “Binary Crime,” the first single off a new and upcoming collection of tracks. Built around buzzing bass synths, skittering beats, whirring synth arpeggios paired with the rising bedroom producer’s plaintive, reverb-drenched delivery, “Binary Crime” is a slow-burning and woozily narcotic mix of shoegaze, dream pop and synth pop that’s rooted in pandemic era-related ennui.

“‘Binary Crime’ is a tune I wrote when feeling a bit lost in technology.  Post-covid, it’s a lot easier to be numb to everything online,” Lyfe Indoors explains.”That’s difficult and I wanted to make a song that exemplified that.  The lyrics are up for interpretation but at the end of it, everything is just 1’s and 0’s.”
