Last week, bassist Karina Rykman dropped her new solo single “No Occasion” featuring her frequent collaborator Marco Benevento.
Explained Rykman of the release, “‘No Occasion’ is my 5th single, and it’s unbridled fun – a reminder to be the most extra versions of ourselves whether there’s an audience, an occasion, or not. Marco Benevento plays those synth leads that put a pep in my step every time I hear them. I made this tune with producer Gabe Monro, my extremely talented childhood friend, with whom I have the privilege and pleasure of creating with these days. He mixed and mastered the song as well. I play guitar, bass, the synths that aren’t the Marco leads, and of course I’m trying my hand at singing these days too. What’s the worst that could happen?! I hope this tune brings joy to those who hear it in a time when we need it most.”
Check out Rykman’s upcoming tour dates via her Instagram.
You can also listen to Rykman every week on Relix’s 3 From The 7 podcast.
