    “All I can say is that I hope this resonates with you somehow, the tone is frequently dark, the music is a result of my mental state, my well-being, or un-well-being. It depends on how you read into it.” Oliver Mavilio

  • Daire Barefoot – “Endeavour”

    Daire Barefoot – “Endeavour”

    “As the first thunderclap sounds, we set off marching upon a winding trail to a place where fear and conflict fall at our feet.

    The cozy country singer-songwriter tune has a soft core to it, exploring the tender sides of love and carefully translating it into words as well as melodies.

  • Painting By Numbers “Rivers EP”

    Painting By Numbers “Rivers EP”

    The echoing nearly intoxicating sound has a slightly tribal feel to it, giving the EP a load of ethereal power. Along with the driving single “Weakness”, the EP has three other worlds to listeners to explore.

    KLEN – “The Pipers”

    Based upon the legend of the Merry Maidens and the Pipers of Boleigh, where two pipers played music on the sabbath for many merry maidens. The story goes that the dancers were abruptly turned to stone for dancing on the day of sabbath. Upon seeing so, the pipers made a run for it, only to…

    Rival Karma – “Powerduism”

    There’s no boring bit in any of these tracks, as I’m sure Rival Karma very much intended so. Clever twists and harmonic changes keep the EP entertaining, making it an easy and exciting listen through and through. The heat is real!
