Ollie Dixon

British Alternative Folk musician Ollie Dixon announced that his next single, will be called ‘Solace’ and leaked some of the track in a set of teaser posts on his instagram. The release date for Solace is Friday, 14th March ‘It’s genre that we call "cinematic ambient folk" blending our acoustic and electric guitars, drenched in reverb, with drum samples rather than conventional drums, layers of violins and arpeggiated synths. It’s a whole new direction for me personally but a path I've been wanting to explore for a while. Solace is the next release of the upcoming EP, Rebirth. Written about finding calm in the chaos, an almost meditative song. ‘I was surfing on the north coast of Cornwall after going through a really rough two year period, with extreme burnout, stress, anxiety, you name it I had it.. I caught a wave and fell.. Getting sucked under I couldn't get back up but whilst being thrown around by the wave, I went from panic to a sense of calm..It was weirdly peaceful under the water once you stop, relax and go with the flow.. for the first time in 2 years I felt a sense of peace, watching the waves crash over head, beads of light shimmering through. Once I came to the surface (probably 30 seconds or less later, it felt like 5 minutes) I chased that same feeling, hoping to fall off and experience it again, but I never did. Or have.’
