Sycco

Album Reviews

“A supremely confident debut: sonically adventurous, thematically rich and emotionally vibrant in its youthful yearning.” – Sydney Morning Herald

“Zorb is a freewheeling, genre-less outing that takes in elements of jungle and drum ’n’ bass, psych rock, synth-gospel and plaintive acoustic songwriting, yet still feels like a singular, coherent piece of work.” – Apple Music

“Painted with blissful psych jams & shiny hyperpop, it encapsulates all the scattered thrills and freedom of your early twenties.” – triple j

“Breakbeats and bratty vocal inflections abound.” – The Guardian

“The debut album from Brisbane’s Sasha McLeod, known as Sycco, establishes her as a psychedelic pop dynamo” – KEXP

About the Artist

Sycco—aka Sasha McLeod, the 22-year-old First Nations singer, songwriter, and producer recently released her highly anticipated debut album Zorb, via Future Classic.

Album Composition

The album lives in a syrup-textured sonic world, with psychedelic rock, dizzying hyperpop, and high-octane electronic dance music all melting together. But the acid-fried garage rock of her previous work is in full swing on Zorb, and when tuning in to those undertones, Sycco’s first full-length record feels stunningly luminescent. Sycco wrote and co-produced every track on the album, completing it with a cast of pop and electronic music’s biggest names including Chrome, Sparks, Flume, Mallrat, Banoffee, and Styalz Fuego.

Upcoming Performances

After an electrifying set at triple j’s One Night Stand, and upcoming appearances at Beyond The Valley and Spilt Milk’s House Party—alongside Glass Animals, Troye Sivan, Artemas and more—Sycco will be taking her festival-ready show on a headline tour of Australia in January 2024.
