Impossibly Idyllic Indie // New Single
Nightshifts is the recording project of Toronto based songwriter Andrew Oliver. He works his magic across vintage synths, groovy guitars and drum machines during late-night recording sessions to create soulful and cosmic pop tunes.

The project is both exciting and complex with a fast-growing reputation for kaleidoscopic production and soulful songwriting.
OMINOUS CONCLUSIONS TO RELEASE THE OUTSIDER EP
OMINOUS CONCLUSIONS, the Lovecraft-inspired instrumental project of French guitarist and composer Louis Nas, will release the new EP The Outsider on August 20th 2021.
The Outsider is a three-part instrumental piece built around H.P. Loevcraft’s tale and fully immerses the listener in the story, with only the notes to guide them. Nas comments: “I use instrumental music mainly because I’m not a singer, but also because I find the use of words too restrictive. I think that with just music you can really go into incredible nuances and details, and make the listener live the story you tell. Also, what’s great about not using words, is that every listener will picture something different in his mind while listening to the music, and thus connect deeper with it.”
It’s progressive metal, but so much more. Packed with technical proficiency and profound storytelling, in one word OMINOUS CONCLUSIONS is… OMINOUS.

We worked tirelessly in an unconventional environment creating this album and are glad to finally release it. “Natural Selection” delves into the darkness, despair and brutality of life both musically and lyrically. Heavily inspired by the black metal of the mid-90s, but with our unique touch to it, we created something we feel truly expresses ourselves as individuals and musicians.”
