Oliver Keene - 16mm dream sequence (EP)

Today Oliver Keane shares his exceptional debut EP ‘16mm Dream Sequence’.

The 6-track body of work comes as an all-encompassing introduction, showcasing the distinctive vocals and accomplished songwriting of this 18 year old newcomer.

Focus track ‘Antidote’ takes shape as a stand-out moment of the EP. Tender songwriting accompanies an intoxicating guitar build, something that Oliver Keane has perfected the art of.

Sharing a little more, Oliver explained: “The whole song was originally stripped back like the start but I spontaneously said we should do a harsh switch halfway through. Luke (my co-producer) had never really heard the more indie side to me before, but I remember the excitement on his face when I sent him the project with the switch up in. We spent hours upon hours perfecting the guitar, especially in the second verse.”

Recently Oliver Keane released ‘Fixing a Broken Heart’, which was a moment of honesty from the up and comer. Led by his standout vocals, the single navigates the pain of a missed opportunity. Clash magazine called “a deftly beautiful work that ponders 'what might have been...' Sharing more, Oliver explained: 'Fixing a broken heart was about a friend of mine. We’d both been flirting back and forth but neither had the courage to make a move. She started talking to another guy and as her friend I had to sit there and accept that.’
