MELBOURNE BASED ALTERNATIVE POP ARTIST RELEASES NEW SINGLE + VIDEO ‘LOOK TO
WINDWARD’ + ANNOUNCES FORTHCOMING ALBUM RELEASE + TOUR DATES

Melbourne based Alternative Pop artist Oliver Downes has just released his stunning
new single and music video ‘Look To Windward’.

‘Look To Windward’ was written as an ode to a friend struggling through a painful
breakup. Oliver finished the composition of the single on a flight from Canada to
Melbourne.

He has also announced the forthcoming release of his new album ‘The Wheel’ (set for
release on March 22nd.) Oliver will embark on a run of tour dates on March 2nd to
celebrate his releases.

Oliver Downes effortlessly blends percussive piano with infectious melodies and
thought-provoking lyrics. His songs explore territory gestured at by artists such as
Nick Cave, Kate Bush, Nils Frahm and Rufus Wainwright.

Oliver released his debut album ‘Ultraviolet’ in 2016 to a warm reception. The album
received praising reviews from the likes of Tone Deaf and Happy, whilst securing a
solid amount of airplay across Australian radio.

The multi-talented song-weaver recently undertook a creative residency at the Banff
Centre for Creativity and the Arts to commence writing for his forthcoming sophomore
album.

New single ‘Look To Windward’ is available for download on all major online stores.

“An impressive and eccentric work of baroque pop, [‘Ultraviolet’] packs soaring
melodies and sharp wit in equal measure, underpinned by intricate and eclectic
chamber instrumentation.”
Tone Deaf
