Abstract

'Burning Boat' is the lead single from Rowan Oliver's 'Quickbeam' album.

Having built years of music industry experience collaborating with a wide range of artists, Rowan’s forthcoming album represents the first solo release by this versatile musician. Developed organically over several years, the entirely instrumental album distils a kaleidoscope of stylistic influences into a unique musical identity. The resulting sonic patchwork includes acoustic folk textures colliding with dubby electronics, soaring string sections that hint at David Axelrod and Charles Stepney, swampy Meters-style funk, Nuyorican horn arrangements and a spectrum of global percussion, all underpinned by groove-driven beats. Wistful melodies weave through the tracks, evoking a sense of both optimism and melancholy that will appeal to fans of Sven Wunder, Quantic or Fabiano do Nascimento.
