Sydney Miller proves she's no 'Copy' on latest dark quirky alt pop single.

Naarm/Melbourne alt-pop artist and producer, Sydney Miller returns with a new single in ‘Copy’, a track that exhibits an elevated adaptation of her quintessential sound. ‘Copy’ is the second last single to come from the artist before releasing a 5-track EP with the coming months.

‘Copy’ explores the frustration of people identifying your characteristics and painting them as their own, with the track incorporating samples of printers and books to build a particularly edgy and powerful percussive alt-pop soundscape.

Forever thinking outside the square, musically speaking, Sydney Miller once again approaches alt-pop with avant-garde flair. On ‘Copy’, Sydney’s talent for texturing and blending tones emanating from both traditional and unconventional means shines through; percussive, glitchy, and darkly quirky, incorporating office items with bouncy synths and deep beats, and Sydney’s forever enigmatic vocal delivery. ‘Copy’, and Sydney’s catalogue of works, is a gateway for a new generation to discover and appreciate the pioneers of experimental pop such as Laurie Anderson and Imogen Heap.

Sydney Miller has been paving the way for a new and vibrant sound in her solo, self-titled act. Sydney indulges in sonic experimentation, utilising her unique creative approach (taking recordings of objects and processing them in a way that generates new and quirky textures) to develop an intrinsically colourful soundscape. Combine this with her evocative vocal lines and memorable hooks, you can understand the early praise earned for exhibiting a refreshing take on pop and electronic genres whilst hinting at influences from countless others.

Performing around Naarm alongside local emerging and established acts, Sydney’s eclectic and energetic 4-piece band uses a variety of methods via synths, samplers, and guitar to mimic the whimsical textures of her recorded music.

If it weren’t for objects like vacuums, microwaves, cameras, books, and furniture, Sydney Miller would simply not exist. Her incorporation of everyday objects in her production has given her a unique edge in the context of electronic pop, with many coining phrases like “quirky pop” (Bridget Hustwaite, Triple J) to categorise her effervescent and impressively meticulous sound. This paired with her mighty voice and aptitude for writing great pop promises Sydney Miller an exciting future in music making.

If you haven’t discovered Sydney Miller yet, you’re welcome. ‘Copy’ is out now on all streaming platforms, and keep an eye out for her 5-track EP due in the coming months.
