“The verses don’t describe the search - they are the search,” KÁRYYN explains. “I need a new alphabet, a brand new vocabulary, enough to say how sad I’ve been, how alone.” Words collapse and rebuild throughout the song, reaching toward emotions the existing language can’t fully contain.
At its core, ‘ELSEWHEN’ captures the dislocation of understanding a relationship long before the other person does - and the distance that remains when understanding finally arrives too late. “One day years from now you might wake up,” she sings, “just know that I was there years from where you are.” Less a plea than a transmission from another timeline, the track imagines love continuing to echo long after separation.
Described by KÁRYYN as “not an inquiry but a conclusion rendered in sound,” PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) distills years of exploration into intimacy, perception, time, and transformation. Inspired equally by quantum physics and spiritual philosophy, the album proposes that the same invisible forces shaping the cosmos also govern memory, connection, and human relationships. “PULL is about the invisible forces that hold us, break us, and pull us back together,” KÁRYYN says. “It’s a framework for understanding my relationship with Self. This record is the sound of my human revolution.”
Built from voice, strings, modular synths, and gravitational rhythms tuned to 432Hz, the album incorporates arrangements informed by Armenian and Middle Eastern musical traditions, woven subtly through rhythm and melody. KÁRYYN’s voice remains the centre throughout, shifting between fragility, intensity, and control as the music moves between intimate and expansive states. Executive produced by KÁRYYN and James Ford, the album was co-produced with Hudson Mohawke, with additional production from Jacques Greene, Steve Nalepa, Luca Perry, and Duncan Fuller. String arrangements and performances come from Raven Bush, alongside qanun performances by internationally acclaimed Syrian musician Maya Youssef. The album was mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Joker.
At its core, PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is an album about collapse, courage, renewal, and emotional clarity, tracing the invisible forces that break us apart and pull us back together again. “I went hunting for dark matter,” KÁRYYN says. “Instead I found brilliance, light, and potential.”
PHYSICS UNIVERSAL LOVE LANGUAGE (PULL) is out now on limited edition white vinyl, CD and digital via Mute.
