Brymo’s “Libel” (2020) is a brief but intense Extended Play (EP) that serves as a visceral and direct response to the sexual assault allegations leveled against him on social media. Far from a typical pop record, it’s a deeply personal, almost musical diary that translates the pain and defensive turmoil Brymo experienced.
The five-track project leans into a sparse, reflective sound, incorporating elements of Lo-fi, soft rock, and quiet storm. Produced entirely by Bigfoot, the music provides a pensive, often melancholic backdrop to Brymo’s raw and introspective lyrics. Tracks like “Ascendancy” deal with depression, while “Love and Paradoxes” is a tribute to his wife’s support.
“Libel” is not just music; it’s a defiant and emotionally charged testament to Brymo’s belief in his innocence and the therapeutic power of art in the face of controversy.
