Editor’s Note: The sound of Syd is the sound of the future. However, last week at Royale (October 11, to be precise), it was the sound of now. The one-time Odd Future member and voice of hip-hop soul group The Internet rolled into town three stops deep into her Always Never Home tour, which lifts its title from her latest EP. Syd’s moody, textured music is hard to quantify, but it filled the Theatre District club with ease last week, and Greg Gaffney was in the room to capture a few snaps of the enigmatic musician at work. Scan through his full gallery below, and head’s up for the West Coast: Syd’s tour resumes with two nights at Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles, where she’ll drop a solo performance October 28, then deliver an Internet set the next night.
