Oliver Downes (Album Launch)
With sharp wit, chamber pop ballads and a keen eye for the human condition, Oliver Downes writes songs that linger on the strange beauty of ordinary life. Walking a path gestured at by artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Kate Bush and Nick Cave, his music blends classic balladry with chamber pop and a warm, slightly offbeat sense of humour.
Oliver Downes launches his third album While the Sun Shines at George Lane in style on September 18. Downes’ songs will be brought vividly to life by the formidable musicianship of his band.
While the Sun Shines traces a journey through love, loss and the ordinary rhythms of everyday life. At its heart is the quiet challenge of living well within difficult circumstances. Written across Melbourne’s Covid lockdowns and the altered emotional landscape that was left behind, While the Sun Shines reflects a fierce determination to find beauty in the day-to-day while striving to meet life’s challenges with whatever grace we can muster.
