Los Angeles-based alt-pop duo Good Rzn—Josie Molasky (vocalist/songwriter) and Tommy Ghirardini (guitarist/producer)—have today (September 22) released the powerful “Far From Me,” the second single from their debut EP FALLING IN SLOW MOTION out October 20. Listen to the song HERE and pre-save the EP HERE.

On “Far From Me,” Good Rzn captivate listeners with their alternative and psychedelic pop, seen through a lens of rock and electronic music. The song weaves a spell with Molasky’s edgy, distorted vocals and Ghirardini’s foreboding guitar riffs, combined with dreamy synthesizer underpinnings and hard-hitting drums.

“The initial concept for the song was based on expressing a feeling of solitude,” reflect Good Rzn about “Far From Me,” which follows the release of the EP’s lead single, “Running Out Of Time.” “We wanted the music to match that isolated energy which is where the wailing guitar came through to mimic a cry out of loneliness.” Read a Q&A below with the band about the single and EP.

Since first releasing music in the fall of 2021, Good Rzn have created a cutting-edge style. The pair’s current catalogue has allowed them to showcase their talents performing at multiple shows including Breaking Sound, Writer’s Block, and WFNM in Los Angeles and PB Avenue in San Diego. Coming off a recent show at the Lost Lake Lounge in Denver, Good Rzn are set to perform at Fergusons Downtown in Las Vegas on Saturday, October 7.

On the Good Rzn-produced FALLING IN SLOW MOTION, they paint the positives and negatives of life as an epic roller coaster ride. The five-track EP gives insight into the feelings the two artists have experienced in their past few years living in Los Angeles. Each song dives into different components of the factors that have influenced the pair since moving to Southern California from Boulder, CO.

“We wanted this collection of music to represent a specific time period of our artistic journey,” says Good Rzn. “We’ve had a lot of amazing moments, but there were also struggles along the way. The creation of these pieces helped us find peace in expressing ourselves and hope it might do the same for our listeners.”

Q&A with Good Rzn

The upcoming EP paints the positives and negatives of your recent experiences. Would “Far From Me” lyrically represent the negative side as it speaks to on being away from someone or something that you love?

GOOD RZN: “Far From Me” was inspired by being away from a loved one, but there’s a duality in the theme where you can also experience growth by going out on your own. The energy of the song is dynamic throughout, representing the ebb and flow of relationships.

What led to writing the darker musical dynamic of “Far From Me” which has that dark, descending riff?

GOOD RZN: The initial concept for the song was based on expressing a feeling of solitude. We wanted the music to match that isolated energy which is where the wailing guitar came through to mimic a cry out of loneliness.”

How was the experience of recording your first EP? Did the EP turn out as expected or were there surprises along the way?

GOOD RZN: The process of finishing our first EP took longer than anticipated. We are very detail-oriented and wanted to make sure that the project met our expectations which in the end we accomplished. Creating something that we are truly proud of was worth all the time and energy we put into it.

 As songwriters, are there other influences outside music that impact your aesthetic?

GOOD RZN: We are influenced by our surroundings and love to be in nature. This comes across in our visuals and is combined with post-production editing to create a feeling of surrealism. We want our visual identity to have a cinematic element. This juxtaposition of organic and digital components is a major theme in our music as well, where we focus on mixing live instruments with electronic sounds.

 What inspired the name “Good Rzn”? It has a mysterious aura about it.

GOOD RZN: Good Rzn came to us one day after searching for a name for months…it just felt right. It was a long process of searching for the right name and we were both able to relate with Good Rzn. The word “good” brings a positive energy and reminds us to see the good in things. Everything is good
