The Keep releases droning debut track

Get acquainted with the solo project of Gothenburg-based Oliver Knowles, The Keep.  Here, Knowles combines the music of his Indonesian heritage with a love for drone. His debut release 'Primer' is slated for December 6th, and he has just shared the EP's debut single 'Barry Manny Drone.'

Explaining the track, Knowles says the piece, "is about loneliness. The track is meant to be a kind of reassurance or comfort blanket."

Speaking on the EP as a whole, Knowles went on to discuss being inspired by film scores saying that,  "the tone of films like Under the Skin and Annihilation, and reading 'The Southern Reach Trilogy' that Annihilation was adapted from was very influential."

Born in Singapore, Knowles then lived in Indonesia until he was 6. He pays heritage to his Indonesian heritage on this EP by using samples of traditional Indonesian instruments, including a small hand drum that his mother gave him years ago.
