princefarming is the solo project of Michael Wynn—singer, guitarist, and songwriter behind the propulsive indie-rock of Vicky von Vicky and the atmospheric textures of Melted Wings. Marking a distinct, introspective evolution in sound, princefarming distills years of independent songwriting, genre-bending experimentation, and relentless DIY creative drive into a fresh artistic canvas. Where past endeavors leaned into driving guitars and expansive full-band arrangements, princefarming originally pivoted towards raw, intimate songwriting grounded in sharp melodic hooks and vivid lyrical storytelling.
With the release of Bleeding Star, Wynn revisits a key chapter in his creative lineage. The three-track release brings together two previously released favorite tracks—now completely remixed and remastered to unlock their full depth and clarity—alongside a newly unearthed title track. Written during the original “Cosmic Crunch” writing sessions but left unreleased until now, the newly completed track serves as the crucial missing link, uniting the project’s early sonic DNA with its current, refined production direction.
At its core, princefarming is a testament to the freedom of self-guided creation. Unbound by traditional genre constraints, the project serves as an open workspace where vintage synth patches, jangly power-pop riffs, and honest reflections on life, memory, and momentum seamlessly coexist. For longtime listeners of Melted Wings and Vicky von Vicky, Bleeding Star offers both a fresh entry point and a satisfying homecoming—a statement of purpose from a songwriting voice operating with total artistic autonomy.
