<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Sydney Wayser</b> will be playing a special New York show prior to her string of dates at SXSW. Sydney is songwriter by way of Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and Paris who weaves magical stories and songs into her forthcoming album,
<b><i>Bell Choir Coast</i></b>, out digitally on March 27<sup>th</sup> with a physical release in May. Already grabbing the ears of
<a href="http://www.glamour.com/entertainment/blogs/obsessed/2012/02/amazing-new-make-out-music-syd.html">
<i>Glamour,</i></a> <a href="http://www.bullettmedia.com/article/musician-sydney-wayser-chats-traveling-and-childrens-toys/">
<i>Bullett</i></a><i> </i>and <a href="http://read.mtvhive.com/2012/01/09/sydney-wayser-dirty-work-song-premiere/">
<i>MTV Hive</i></a>, Sydney’s new album is racking up an impressive list of early fans. The road that brought Wayser to
<i>Bell Choir Coast</i> started two years ago; Wayser found herself in a gorgeous studio with a talented producer, in the midst of a New York winter that made the Los Angeles-bred Wayser completely miserable. With the problem of the New York winter proving
unavoidable, Wayser decided that if she couldn’t go elsewhere, she’d bring other lands to her. Drawing on all of her influences, from summers the French-American Wayser spent in France to painters and other artists, Wayser began to give her new territory shape
and shade. “<i>Bell Choir Coast</i> is about a fictional land that I made up, because I couldn't leave New York and I had to make my record. So I made up a new world in my head that was everything I wanted.” And what a beautiful world it is. (<a href="mailto:ashley@pressherepublicity.com">ashley@pressherepublicity.com</a>)
