Today, Sydney bedroom producer, ioakim (i – owe – kem) shares his bright new single ‘tongue tied’, via Arcadia Records. 

‘Tongue tied’ was written and produced entirely by ioakim on the night of June 2, 2020. The song came together so quickly, he says it felt like a massive blur. For fans of Tame Impala, Phoenix and Dayglow, this one is an ear worm and an instant mood lifter, giving exactly what ioakim wants – the listener to feel.

“Tongue tied is about having an overwhelming feeling of not being able to communicate.” ioakim shares. “I remember during the time of writing this song I was in situations where I couldn’t find the words I needed at the right time. The themes throughout this song include, love, relationships and having the regret of not being able to say everything you wish you could’ve. This song is special to me as I feel like it is the first of many songs that open up into the true world of ioakim.”

‘Tongue tied’ is accompanied by a DIY but by no means amateur official visualiser video made by ioakim. A man of many talents, who not only makes music but is also a fashion designer by day. He has worked for some of Australia’s biggest brands and is currently the Menswear designer originator at General Pants.

Ioakim is the first artist to release music via Arcadia Records, Sony Music Entertainment Australia’s joint venture with Christian Lo Russo, the executive director and founder of The Artist Studio. Arcadia Records is the home of a range of emerging and exciting Australian artists that Lo Russo and Sony Music will release together.

Ioakim’s music and artistic vision is dream-like, nostalgic and care-free. The need to communicate is the reason he creates music, drawing on life experiences, aspirations and self growth. Everything in ioakim’s world feels like it was captured yesterday and now lives within your subconscious. His music is a little grainy, blurry around the edges and some of the finest indie dream pop about to burst onto the scene. It’s quite remarkable that it comes from his bedroom, a concept ioakim finds fascinating – going into a room with nothing and then in one night coming out with a gem like ‘tongue tied’.
