German-based artist M. Byrd shares thought-provoking new single “Gunslinger” off his upcoming album, The Seed. Let me know if you would be interested in covering this track – we would love to have your support!

Inspired by the unfathomable enlisting of youth in the army, German-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer M. Byrd releases his new single “Gunslinger,” which unfurls like a film as guitar echoes underneath narrative, emotional lyrics. 
 
“One day, I was on the internet and stumbled on a pop-up. It said ‘You can go to a Ukrainian embassy in Berlin and be at war in a few days to fight.’ I had been imagining guys and girls my age signing up, getting a weapon in their hands, and fighting away. It drove me crazy. I couldn’t imagine this was happening.”

“Gunslinger” follows the release of M. Byrd‘s previous singles “Seed,” “Flood,” “Over You / Over Me,” “Outside Of Town” and “Only A Feeling,” all off his debut full-length album The Seed  out June 16th. 

M. Byrd unearths universality from intensely personal songwriting. In 2020, he turned heads with the single “Mountain”, followed by “Morning Sun”, gaining millions of streams and praise from Ones To Watch, Earmilk, Atwood, etc. At the end of 2020, he holed up in Detmold, Germany in a WWII-era British Corps squash hall rechristened as a studio with producer Eugen Koop to create The Seed. Leaving his mark on each level of the music, M. Byrd personally plays guitar, synthesizers and bass on the record. After generating 10 million-plus streams and acclaim from outlets worldwide, he continues to perfect his vision on his 2023 debut LP, The Seed [Nettwerk].
