So Alive
Shiny Brain CrayonsSummer soundtrack 2026 has arrived! So Alive sweeps the airwaves with a breath of fresh mountain air, and revamped sound palette for SBC. Shiny Brain Crayons re-introduce themselves reflecting with a mature and simpler approach to music making, and the industry. Keeping the laidback vocals and swapping guitars for a dancier leaning, So Alive dares you not to jump around. Paying homage to Doechii, Animal Collective, Fcukers, and The Source (Aka life energy, not the 90s British band) , SBC are “calling in the karma” for their next big move. So Alive is the third of several releases for Shiny Brain Crayons in 2026.

Wake Up
Shiny Brain Crayons
"Wake Up" is the energising indie-pop and post-punk title track from the debut EP released by London-based alternative duo Shiny Brain Crayons in late 2024. Written by band members Marianne Canning and Stergin, the song blends driving guitar riffs with motivational themes of self-actualisation and breaking out of life's apathetic ruts.

Shiny Brain Crayons
‘Noodles for Life’ blends post-punk guitars, electronic beats, synths, bouncing bass, abstract vocals and natural wave sounds into a quirky, upbeat and meditative track. It has a playful DIY energy with a philosophical edge. Works well for wellness, self-growth, travel, nature, creative lifestyle, food, fashion, youth culture, indie film, montage scenes, road trips, summer visuals and brands that want something positive, unusual and full of personality.
$50 licenceFreedom
Shiny Brain Crayons
Freedom is the 5th single from south London alternative-indie/post-punk duo Shiny Brain Crayons. Celebrating life as a game, pulsating dark grooves, thumping bass, and the familiar angular guitar and synth combo maps out Freedom as the soundtrack to your epic quest called LIFE. Shouting is encouraged ‘let your bloody heart sing’ and don’t take yourself too seriously with this bouncy indie-post-punk-pop hit. Shiny Brain Crayons continue their musical mark with groove-based riffs, stark drums and driving guitar licks, reminiscent of the 80’s finest courtesy of award winning producer/multi instrumentalist, Stergin. This signature sound steps up a gear with singer/bassist Marianne Canning’s vocal delivery: laid back, rhythmic, oozing confidence whilst a tongue-in-cheek clarinet cadenza heralds a triumphant victory.
