Formerly known as Ivan Ink, the irritatingly-talented Londoner Oliver Briggs is now recording as Wilde. From forthcoming album Before I Am come two folksy songs: the speckled All Eyes, sad and prettily sincere; and the gloomier Black Stars, a beautiful, resigned lament, or the sonic equivalent of a frank diary entry, penned under an old anglepoise one winter afternoon as the light fades outside.
Ollie has two gigs this week: the first tonight at the The Bull & Gate in Kentish Town (more here, or flyer below), and then on Thursday (here) at The Old Queens Head.
