Miles Oliver is a parisian songwriter, swinging electric & acoustic guitar, piano and loops. After many years in the punk hardcore scene, MILES OLIVER reveals himself with dark family stories and haunting melodies. An alchemy between lo-fi rock, sad folk and poetry that makes you think about Bonnie Prince Billy, Sonic Youth and Troy Von Balthazar.
Colleen Freeman is a violinist and vocalist currently based in Bellingham. The Horse Without Wings EP, Colleen Freeman’s debut release, was conceived when she strapped her fiddle to the back of her bicycle and set out from her home in Valladolid, Spain, headed for Sarlat, France. The next three months and 3,000km biking, camping and busking her way through northern Spain and southern France had a profound physical, emotional, musical and spiritual impact, which birthed the songs of this album.
