New Music: The Heron

           

The virtuoso, poet, writer and producer Antony Szmierek is up and running for the year with the wonderful, disco-infused "The Heron", Manchester born Antony Szmierek first shot to the top of the critical radar with the much acclaimed debut album that was 2025's Service Station At The End Of The Universe‘. "The Heron" is a very welcome and similarly energetic follow-up. In the video one arrived in the form of a heron nesting along the Mersey’s banks that he revisited for years. Antony saw himself in the bird: a creature of two worlds, caught between water and land, just as he found himself between his ordinary Manchester life and newfound public attention. Speaking about the meaning behind the song, Antony shares “Many of us are adrift in a world of short form slop and a punishing news cycle, but The Heron provides a manifesto for survival. Patience, self-reliance, looping piano and relentless bass. The video was directed by Zak Watson.
