about

As your skin feels the glaze of sunset on a summers day, 'Distraction' floats through the air with twanging reverb flooded guitars and idiosyncratic production that creates a sound more mature than Aderyn's previous indie pop. Inspired by artists such as Sasami and Wallows, Aderyn wrote this song about the itchy, restless feeling one gets in the dead of summer. A thrumming, energetic experimental indie pop beat carries the listener along until the bridge takes off somewhere unexpected, into a faded club beat, with guitars and synths echoing under Aderyn's dreamy vocal. Pushing her sound into new places with the slick production from Gethin Pearson (Orla Gartland, Walt Disco, Charli XCX), Aderyn also shows new layers of vulnerability with her lyrics. Hidden under layers of insouciance through the verses, the bridge opens up as Aderyn admits ‘I don’t want to be somebody who needs anyone’.

lyrics

I’ve been writing songs but everything’s derivative
Lying in the sun trying to get myself to think differently
Feels like I’m on the run but I don’t know who’s chasing me
Maybe its just the rat race in this city
We’re all racing around and getting eachother down

But you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so beautiful beautiful
Oh you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so beautiful

Don’t want another drink, just want to feel my best again
Lost a puzzle piece, I think I underestimated this feeling
I used to be alright, in fact I used to be just fine
But now my head is spinning like a hamster wheel in the middle of the night
And I get lonely all the time, need someone to ease my mind

And you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so beautiful beautiful
Oh you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so beautiful

I don’t wanna be somebody who needs anyone, anyone
No I don’t wanna be somebody who needs anyone, anyone

But you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so beautiful beautiful
Oh you would be a beautiful distraction
This could be so, this could be so, this could be so distracting

I don’t wanna be somebody who needs anyone, anyone
No I don’t wanna be somebody who needs anyone, anyone

Aderyn London, UK

As a teenager Aderyn grew tired of life on a sheep farm in the Brecon Beacons and left home at 16 to become a drummer in a grunge band. Watching the singers run around on stage, she decided that looked like fun too. Drawing on her love of grunge rock and indie pop she wrote songs about past loves, new loves and future loves; basically, all about loves, this is pop music after all… ... more
