Almost three years after 2013’s “Plastic Makes Perfect”, AYRIA strikes
hard again with release number five. AYRIA is now a 12 year scene
veteran and Jennifer Parkin has proven her sonic style and exploration
into the darker side of alt-pop is here to stay. AYRIA, an established
icon of female club industrial music, mashing pounding beats, aggressive
synths, with melodic female vocals, stays true to her roots on this
release diving back into the slick electro sound that started AYRIA in
2003, while continuing to evolve the sound to appeal to modern
listeners. Canadian singer & songwriter Jennifer Parkin, teamed up
once again with heavyweight producer Sebastian R. Komor. Their artistic
chemistry to produce the kind of unique alternative electro-pop that
sounds both big, gritty and beautiful all at once, continues to capture
new breeds of fans around the globe.
2016’s “Paper Dolls” is not a minimal release. This release is no longer
an exploration. This release is 11 solid anthematic tracks that can
each stand on their own as a single. Long gone is the young girl from
2003 starting a solo project and exploring her sound. What’s left in
2016 on “Paper Dolls” is a confident artist, a mature sound, and some of
Jennifer’s strongest songwriting to date, all combined with explosive,
ear-candy production highlighting vocals in the midst of AYRIA’s huge
beats and synths.
Laying it all out there for listeners with lyrical themes of suicide,
technology & social media, feminism, abuse, opulence, emptiness,
numbness and isolation, with a hint at happiness just so you know that
not all hope is lost.
For club songs suited for the dance floor, “Underneath The Water”,
“Crash And Burn”, “Feed Her To The Wolves”, “Chameleon”, “Not
Receiving”. For sexy, moody, mid-tempo electro-EBM-alt-pop, “You’re So
Vacant”, “Deconstruct Me”, “Paper Dolls”. And finally, some confident
and beautiful slower tempo tracks, lacking on recent releases and
reminiscent of the “Flicker” era of AYRIA, “Sticks and Stones”,
“Barren”, “Fading From Me”.
This release will continue to appeal to fans, as AYRIA’s established and
unique genre of female industrial-alt-pop has brought listeners along
for over a decade into this world of distortion, bass, melody and
melancholy. Jennifer invites you in again, to hear for yourself where
she’s been, and where she has now arrived at and conquered.
“Paper Dolls” does not only come as a regular CD, but also as a special
2CD limited edition box set with disc 2 titled “The Heartless Kingdom”
which takes you on a moody ride featuring two more original tracks, some
transformed ballad reworks of club tracks, remixes by personal friends
Decoded Feedback, Bhambhamhara, as well as some goodies: postcards,
stickers, posters.
