NYC-based band Pry, the project of Simeon Beardsley and Amara Bush, are excited to share the latest single from their debut album, Wrapped in Plastic, arriving later this month on May 29, 2025. Out now is “Greener,” which captures the regret of what could have been while hoping that the grass is greener on the other side. 


“Greener is the first song Amara wrote and recorded and was one of the first songs we worked on together,” say Pry. “It has gone through a lot of phases and it is very special to us because it represents a lot about the two of us stylistically- instrumentally and lyrically. We wanted to create an atmosphere that felt dynamic but allowed Amara’s introspective conversation with self to remain center-stage.”

PRE-SAVE WRAPPED IN PLASTIC


Pry officially began releasing music in 2023 with “Don’t You Want To See.” They recently announced their forthcoming debut album Wrapped in Plastic, with singles “Tether You” and “Heaven”, leading up to this month’s release. The former caught the attention of Pitchfork and made its way onto the iconic Pitchfork Selects playlist shortly after its release. Pry has been hard at work on Wrapped in Plastic, creating a body of work that is sonically driven by soft and powerful vocals, hardcore guitar licks, and clean, jangly tones that evoke a nostalgic, vintage feel with a distorted and gritty energy.

ABOUT PRY:

After being introduced by a friend in 2023, Amara Bush and Simeon Beardsley hit the ground running. Bush had been learning bass and guitar during the pandemic and had songs written that she was ready to play, while Beardsley had been in DIY bands in New Mexico for nearly 15 years and was eager to start a project in New York. The duo began sharing demos and would meet to rehearse them with only the support of drum loops on their computer. Not long after, they recruited members for a full band and polished enough material for a live set. They have since solidified themselves as a powerful live act in Brooklyn’s vibrant music scene. Pry are easily distinguished by their wall of sound guitars and bass, out front synthesizer, groove-centered but explosive drumming, and catchy vocal melodies, with a tendency for broad dynamic shifts reflecting their variety of influences, which range from 90’s alternative rock and shoegaze to modern indie and pop.
