Blue Pilot Release Darkly Psychedelic Single, "Anyu"

• LISTEN TO/SHARE “ANYU” HERE •

Brooklyn-based duo Blue Pilot (songwriter Eric Frost and producer Chris Worden) deliver a hauntingly introspective new single, “Anyu,” a psychedelic exploration of melancholy and triumph. Inspired by the throes of a quarter-life crisis, the song reflects on the exhausting sense of permanence that comes with being “in-between.” With an uncanny blend of acoustic and electronic elements, “Anyu” captures the disorienting yet hopeful journey of emerging from a phase of uncertainty and longing.

The track’s title, “Anyu,” is a nod to a friend who seems to have it all together—offering a symbolic contrast to the chaos at the song’s core. The duo embraces their unique approach, fusing years of evolving influences into a sound unlike anything else.

There’s definitely a careful balancing act here between acoustic and electronic drums. We wanted them to have the energy that a drummer might bring to a band, but also sound unlike a traditional kit or something anyone would actually play. There’s also kind of a dialogue between two versions of my voice. The more robotic one started as a placeholder, but the contrast turned into a great way of emphasizing the feeling of being pulled in two directions. – Eric Frost
