about
One-girl indie/dream pop project from Winnipeg, Canada. Links: Facebook & Bandcamp. Her first sign of success in the DIY scene came from a SoundCloud following and YouTube exposure from channels like Thelazylazyme. She quickly took her singles, a mixture of covers and originals, to Spotify and Apple Music. FLOOR CRY’s synth-pop creations are filled with rich emotion and a rare form of relatability that somehow softens the blow of lost love. On her single “parents,” Sekundiak reflects on conflicting feelings of pain and yearning. FLOOR CRY croons, “how you been? / well I’ve been good / not doing anything like I should / I’d tell you more if I only knew I could.” Her words leave a residual blitheness with the listener, a FLOOR CRY specialty. Her ability to convey the flurry of conflicting and often confusing emotions is unconventional and rather powerful. Sekundiak’s lyrics are not harsh reminders of the complications in life. Instead, they offer a glimpse into what moving on might feel like. In “Strawberry Milkshake,” the gut wrenching line “I slept in really late / was dreaming of your face / you never smile around here anymore” is easily missed due to the song’s dance-inducing beat, a beautiful juxtaposition that allows listeners to indulge in their sadness but not wallow. Once again, this allows Sekundiak’s effortless talent to shine through her delicate poems. FLOOR CRY is a one-woman show, and each original song is written, recorded and produced by Sekundiak herself
