Oliver Beardmore Releases New Single Not Sinking, Yet Floating

Birmingham-born but London-based artist Oliver Beardmore releases ‘Not Sinking, Yet Floating’, the final single and titular track from his forthcoming debut EP on January 14th.We’d love it if you would consider the track for a feature on your site.
Packed with the echoes of yesteryear’s great songwriters, a chiming anthem about the 
mental toing and froing that ensues after drawing a line in the sand with someone, and the 
doubt that follows regarding “whether the haze has lifted, or the fog has descended.”Oliver Beardmore made his lyrical ambition known at a young age with a trio of singles in 2017 and 2018 that drew comparisons to the songwriting of indie staples Alex Turner and Noel Gallagher.

After a hiatus from the studio, Oliver returned in 2020 with a step into a new sonic direction with ‘Fiesta’, the lead single from his debut EP. With this move, Oliver placed himself at the end of a more avant-garde lineage, inspired by shoegaze and dream pop royalty Cocteau Twins, my bloody valentine, and Slowdive whilst retaining a melodic sensibility more akin to Lana Del Rey or Mazzy Star.

After ‘Fiesta’, Oliver released the second single from the new EP ‘With the Heavens on Your Side’. This was met with even greater critical and commercial acclaim than ‘Fiesta’ and has been a staple of his prolific live performances in Birmingham and London ever since.
