Bryan Away “Scenes From a Wedding”

Posted on:

Bryan Away (aka Elliot Korte) has released the latest single, "Scenes From a Wedding", from his forthcoming album, Canyons to Sawdust, which is due out on July 9th.

The single is accompanied by a Qianwen Yu animated video, and Korte had this to say about the single. "If my first single “The Lake” was an optimistic look at what can be born from true love “Scenes from a Wedding” is the cynical counter asserting that true love is actually less important than comfort and stability".
