Syd Taylor

Syd Taylor's debut solo LP, After the Fact, emerged after a three-month period of intensive creation in her Los Angeles apartment. This marked a departure from her lifelong collaboration with her twin sister in their band, a change that compelled Taylor to explore her individual identity as both an artist and a person. Having spent years prioritizing others, she dedicated herself to creating something truly personal. This introspection fueled the rawly honest lyrics of After the Fact, an album entirely written and produced by Taylor as she discovered her unique voice and gained newfound confidence. “It’s the first time I’ve been able to sit down and make something truly for me. No one telling me what genre to lean into, what producer to hand my demos to, or even how to present myself. I know I’m not perfect, so why pretend to be some perfectly polished pop version of myself? I wanted to get as far away from that as possible. And in doing that, I made something that feels perfect to me — which is imperfect.”
