Ollie Dixon – Here & Now
Ollie Dixon - Here & Now
Release Date: Out Now
I’ve been wanting to get to know
Ollie Dixon for a while now and as soon I press play on his latest EP, ‘Here
& Now’, I immediately regret not doing so earlier. The Devon based
singer-songwriter has a moody, dark presence that broods and sweeps like the landscapes
that surround his home and it is, quite honestly, intoxicating. Opening with
the title track ‘Here & Now’, Dixon blends the rumbling thunder of Brother
& Bones with the understated charm of a Jamie Yost or Ben Howard to create
a track that demands attention, demands action and demands a response from you.
On ‘Anchors, Pt. 1’, the pace takes a drop to something a little more ambient
with a Noah Gundersen meets Drakes Island which is blissful.
‘Where Do We Go’ starts off at a
slower pace but then builds and swells like a storm approaching over the
horizon with a scattered beat, sumptuously gravelly vocals and the kind of rippling
guitar notes that make you want to just drift away on a strong tide. The EP
closes out with ‘No Man Is An Island’, a track that speaks to a sense of
loneliness and loss set to a soundtrack of wistful guitar notes and mournful
strings rumbling in the background. This is a seriously accomplished EP with a
gorgeously dark underbelly that keeps you coming back for more and I urge you
not to leave as long as I did to discover Ollie Dixon.
