Fizzy! by Tam Lin

Fizzy! – An exploration of the contradictory strata of online life.

Tam Lin’s latest album, Fizzy!, is an electrifying journey through the paradoxes of our online existence. Navigating the tension between connection and isolation, the album immerses listeners in a world where degraded memescapes, ghostly chatrooms, bot psy–ops, and hyper-glossy interfaces collide, vividly capturing the dissociation, anxiety, and joy that define digital life.

Like a sonic fever dream assembled from fragmented connections, Fizzy! warps between euphoria and dissonance. Glitch-riddled textures dissolve into pulsing rhythms, while ethereal melodies float above mutant percussion, creating a hypnotic landscape of sound. Each track acts as a portal, leading the listener deeper into an uncanny web of nostalgia, hyper-modernity, and fleeting intimacy.

Fizzy! marks Tam Lin’s debut as a songwriter, diverging from the electronica, noise, ambient, and spoken-word compositions of their previous work. This transition introduces a new layer of narrative depth. Voices whisper, mutate, and stretch across the album, introducing narrative depth to their evocative instrumentals.

Fizzy! is the trace of a voice note lost in transmission. It’s the shimmer of a pixelated sunset on a broken screen. It’s a conversation that lingers in memory long after the server has crashed. Shouts, murmurs, and distorted fragments float through its tracks, mirroring the ephemeral, electric pulse of an all too familiar and normalised digital life.

Inhabiting the anxiety of our split existences, Tam Lin steps between the contradictory planes of this networked life, morphing to the required shape: distant and refined, or bristling with monstrous energy.
