FINNEAS
Oct 4, 2019
22-year-old singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist FINNEAS released his debut EP, “Blood Harmony” on October 4th via OYOY/AWAL. The first track out is a song called “Shelter.” The music video for this song was filmed in one continuous take. The clip finds the musician by the Los Angeles River while surrounded by a horde of dancers wearing jeans and teal turtlenecks.
When asked about the song, FINNEAS explained, “I wrote this song a couple years ago and just let it percolate for a while, seeing how it would age. I looked through my music to release this year, I came across the demo and was pleasantly surprised to find I still liked it. Usually, I get bored of my stuff almost immediately. I wanted this song to have an urgency to it when I recorded it, the same way that the lyrics do — the kind of feverish feeling that accompanies loving someone.”
FINNEAS is the brother and producer of Billie Eilish, and he elaborated on the EP’s title as being inspired by that sibling bond, at least in part: “I would love for this title to remain ambiguous to listeners and for everyone to be able to imbue it with their own meaning and justification. The most common use of the term ‘blood harmony’ is an English expression for what it sounds like when siblings sing together, that biologic chemistry—I think that speaks for itself.”
FINNEAS has released several singles and has written music for other artists. He has also acted in film and TV including roles in the movie Life Inside Out and Glee, Modern Family and Aquarius.
On October 15th, FINNEAS will head out on his first North American headlining tour, playing five dates in major cities like San Francisco, Chicago, Brooklyn and Boston.
