Blending an untamed Rock sound with delicate melodies and soft vocals, Olive Featherstone has hit the nail on the head with ‘Lie Down’. Olive brings up the intensity with precision, creating a sound that is as haunting as it is intense, layering flangered guitars and a raw beat.
Talking about the inspirations of the song, Olive Featherstone shares:
“’Lie Down’ was always one that felt incredibly emotional for me; it covers the time of my life when I was struggling most with depersonalisation. I was bedridden for a week, unable to do most things without feeling overwhelmed by the state I was in. It felt as though I were watching my life through a TV screen somewhere in my brain. The worst part was no one around me being able to relate to how I was feeling; so being able to look at that time retrospectively is so wonderful to see how much I’ve progressed. Calum Wotherspoon, my guitarist, and producer, really helped me breathe life into this track. My favourite bit of this recording is the jangly, gritty guitar tones and the gradual descent towards the end of the track.”
Bringing a grungy approach to singer-songwriter sensibilities, Olive’s melodies are sure to stick with you long after the song has ended.
