Ollie Dixon – Interlude, I / Time
Release Date: 5th June 2020
It’s a huge challenge to create anything
during a time of such uncertainty and anxiety that we currently find ourselves
in, so I applaud all creatives who are still plugging away at the moment.
Special mention, however, goes to artists who are trying new things and challenging
themselves beyond just getting up and coping with the news onslaught each day.
Devon singer-songwriter Ollie Dixon is one such artist who has experimented
with this pair of new tracks, taking a different direction to his previous
work.
‘Time’ is a brooding, atmospheric
and moody track that grumbles and groans in the shadows in a way that brings to
mind Jeff Buckley’s more introspective moments but also fits alongside fellow
Devon musicians Jamie Yost and Drakes Island. ‘Interlude, I’ has an almost cinematic
quality to it with scattered melodic strains, a rumbling and ominous underbelly
and the general feel of a scene with no dialogue from Twin Peaks. Dixon is clearly
pushing himself and trying new things here which is great to hear and hugely
brave during already challenging times. I, for one, am excited to hear how this
new direction merges with his excellent earlier material to create a whole new
body of work.
