Eris, a fresh talent emerging from southern Germany, is the creative collaboration of guitarist and producer Jan Palmer and singer-lyricist Maria Würth. Their music takes an experimental twist on songwriting, with a soundscape shaped by Maria’s angelic yet powerful voice, dynamic instrumentation, and Jan’s unique mixing and intricate guitar riffs.

Their latest single, Silver Nights, delves into the bittersweet nostalgia of growing up. The song reflects on those carefree moments from youth — the silver nights when you moved through life without worrying about how the world perceived you. But as you age, that unfiltered version of yourself slips away, even though you promised it never would.

The main guitar riff, like a ticking clock, symbolizes the relentless passage of time, while the more rock-driven instruments add a layer of rawness, capturing the inner conflict of reminiscing and the frustration of losing that youthful freedom. Maria’s vocals soar in the chorus, with an emotional outcry at the end, mirroring the anguish of this inevitable change.

Eris blends this deeply emotional narrative with bold musicality, offering a fresh, reflective sound that stays with you long after the final note fades.
