Hey, please tell us about all your songs on the new album, Oliver.
To me, knowing a little background of a song increases it’s emotional value drastically. Plus, I make music myself and take inspirations from the world around me, and it really interests me how other artists channel the input they receive from the world.

Plus yeah, it was also very interesting to learn about your job / music management.

Thanks everyone for reading, listening and your comments. Sharing the music is what makes it all worth while. In addition hearing from other musicians (peers) is a real plus.

Great track Oliver! On the “growing into a new day” line your voice reminds me a bit of Ian Curtis, one of my favorite singers! I look forward to checking out the rest of the posts on the Joyless Pleasures production, inspiration and inspiration.

Oliver

Really liked this post, especially the insight into how you balance your day job with music. That’s something that a majority of musicians can probably relate to.

And, after reading this post, I had to check out Enven. Pretty convincing alter ego for The Horrorist!

Looking forward to more posts in this series.

Really nice that you take the time to unveil the influences that become each song.

On an off note, any chance of some of the old I.S. style stuff making a return? Disintegrator II, or something like that =o] Lock on Target and Koenig Cylinders are top notch!
