May 16 2025 – Today, Toronto-based alt-rocker DYLYN (aka Gwendolyn Lewis) is thrilled to release her new EP Heavy. Mastered by Dave Cooley (Paramore, M83), the gritty, soul-baring EP channels moments of crushing heartbreak and turbulent emotions into a cathartic five-track release. Listen HERE.
“The extremes in life make us feel something potent and real. My life has been all about highs and lows. I embrace it and learn from it and I celebrate it,” adds Gwen.
You may have heard Gwen’s voice when she landed in the Top 10 on various Billboard charts with “Fly Away” and “Crazy Crazy,” and supported pop stars on tour under the name of Guinevere. She used this momentum to follow her internal compass to DYLYN. In 2018, she released her independent debut EP, Sauvignon and a Kimono. Impacting multiple strata of culture, the lead single “Secret” tallied millions of Spotify streams and inspired thousands of fan videos throughout the anime community, including Gacha Life, where she received her avatar. She remained prolific with a pair of EPs—Let You and Only Us—before the EP Make It Naked in 2021. From there, she released her debut album The Sixty90s in 2022. Produced by Ryan Guldemond (of Mother Mother) and Parker Bossley (bassist for The Mounties, Hot Hot Heat), the 13 tracks cemented her vision of a confluence of eras, styles, and emotions. Now, with the release of Heavy, DYLYN is ready for the next phase in her career.
