Live Review: Szymon 'Golden'
With an album to be released on his behalf, we gain further insight into the workings of late Sydney artist, Szymon, through his second single, 'Golden'.
Two years ago, the world tragically lost a friend, a son and a beautifully talented musician; Szymon Borzestowski.
Spending a lot of time on his debut album, Tigersapp, the mononymously known artist had built a gorgeous port folio of electronic folk, before he was devastatingly taken from the world through a lost battle with depression. Salvaging his creative spirit, the Borzestowski family contacted EMI A&R representatives, Mark Holland and Craig Hawker - two firm believers of Szymon's craft. Having already expressed interest in earlier demos, the two have since created a label specifically for the release of Tigersapp.
Since falling in love with debut single, 'Katyusha', we've been gifted further insight into Szymon's infectious art with Tigersapp's second offering, 'Golden'.
'Golden' begins and departs with the harmonising romance between a light keyline and the gentle plucking of an acoustic guitar; oppressed by the orderly ticking of a senior, authoritative beat. As this bland staple becomes distracted by a percussive leak, the young sonic pairing break free, frolicking about and exploring the boundless territory they've so blatantly become exposed to.

Personified through the lyricism and humble delivery of Szymon's vocals, this stunning twosome evoke the intriguement of youth; that is until the initial ticking returns to lay these restless souls back down to their reality.
'Golden' is just one chapter of Szymon's Tigersapp, an album that is to be released through Eloper Records sometime this year. Bequeathing pure sonic gold, it's sure to be a precious collection of songs to honour the life of Szymon Borzestowski.
