Reporting back.
In the winter of 2023/24 Ollie & the band headed to a remote studio in Cornwall to start work on the 4th EP, Rebirth. Starting the recording process of it for the 4th time Taking time away from recording music, touring, with the intention on not returning to music. I ended up re-writing the whole EP.
Solace is the 2nd release of the upcoming EP, Rebirth. Written about finding calm in the chaos, an almost meditative song.
‘I was surfing on the north coast of Cornwall after going through a really rough two year period, with extreme burnout, stress, anxiety, you name it I had it.. I caught a wave and fell.. Getting sucked under I couldn't get back up but whilst being thrown around by the wave, I went from panic to a sense of calm..It was weirdly peaceful under the water once you stop, relax and go with the flow.. for the first time in 2 years I felt a sense of peace, watching the waves crash over head, beads of light shimmering through. Once I came to the surface I chased that same feeling, hoping to fall off and experience it again, but I never did. Or have.’
‘Solace was that experience for me, learning to find calm and peaceful moments in the chaos of life, Learning to deal with my thoughts and feelings in a healthier way. Knowing that each day there are moments of peace and clarity, we just have to stop and notice it.’
