Australian artist JVLY continues to build anticipation for his upcoming EP Sunder with the release of his latest single, “Drowning in My Room.”
Following the success of previous tracks “South” and “Locum,” this latest offering provides a deeper insight into the sonic world JVLY is crafting—one that blends atmospheric production with introspective lyricism.
“Drowning in My Room” is a moody, immersive track that explores themes of isolation, self-pity, and the loops we find ourselves stuck in. JVLY describes it as an ironic take on the temptation to shift blame rather than take ownership of personal struggles. “Passing up ownership of issues doesn’t help anyone, but it’s easier to do because the blame gets shifted,” he explains.
This introspective approach is underscored by a rich instrumental arrangement, featuring deep bass grooves, rhythmic drums, and an almost underwater-sounding guitar line that enhances the song’s dreamy yet melancholic tone.
Lyrically, “Drowning in My Room” evokes a sense of solitude and detachment, painting a picture of being trapped in repetitive cycles. The refrain “I could drown in this room forever” captures the overwhelming feeling of stagnation, a sentiment further reinforced by the song’s hypnotic melodies.
As JVLY continues to tease Sunder, this single adds another compelling layer to the project, setting the stage for an EP that promises to be both sonically rich and emotionally resonant.
“Drowning in My Room” is out now on all major streaming platforms, and you can listen to it below. Fans of JVLY’s signature ethereal sound and reflective storytelling won’t want to miss this latest release as they await the full Sunder EP.
