OLIVER BEARDMORE- NOT SINKING, YET FLOATING- EP REVIEW : AN IMMERSION IN SHOEGAZING.

 The now London- based singer and songwriter Oliver Beardmore released last Friday his EP, Not Sinking, Yet Floating, which includes his latests singles and two new songs (Closer and I'm Sure You Know). The EP gets Oliver's work from the past two years together. 

The result is a dive in guitar walls, unbreakable textures and a total immersion in Shoegazing.

Even though tracks like Closer or Not Sinking, Yet Floating strengthen the introspection, creating a very dark and gloomy atmosphere, there's also time for more melodic pieces (Fiesta and With The Heavens On Your Side), closer to modern-pop songwriting. 

The guitar is the  protagonist of the collection, cause and effect of the project. The intention to cover the wide sea of the instrument's dimensions leads to have a very alt-rock sound, getting nostalgic mid-80s  and 90s guitars on the EP-titled cut, Not Sinking, Yet Floating.
