Straymere

Straymere is a piano-driven musical project created by American music producer and composer, Nico Yaryan. The project was launched in 2019 as an extension of Yaryan's work in the indie-pop and electronic music genres. Straymere music is characterized by its lush, atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics, often exploring themes of love, relationships, and existential crisis.

The project's early work, including the 2020 EP "Illuminations", featured collaborations with singer-songwriters such as Franklin Emerson and Eric Wyse. Straymere's music has been praised for its cinematic quality, with critics noting the project's ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality. Yaryan's production style, which often incorporates elements of ambient and experimental music, has been cited as an influence by several artists in the indie music scene.

Straymere has also been associated with the independent music label, Neighborhood, which has released music by Yaryan and other like-minded artists. This label, founded by Aaron Maine of the band Porches, has become a hub for underground musicians and producers looking to push the boundaries of what is possible in contemporary indie music.

Throughout its brief history, Straymere has demonstrated a willingness to innovate and experiment within the bounds of Yaryan's art. With a focus on sonic texture and emotional depth, Straymere continues to explore new sounds and themes, reflecting the evolving tastes and interests of Yaryan as a composer and producer.
