Oli Bayston, formerly with Manchester band Keith and more latterly being behind songwriter credits for the likes of Lianne La Havas, Lily Allen, The 2 Bears and The Voyeurs, amongst others, now takes centre stage in his own right.
Fusing electronics with a slight frisson of psychedelia, he has just this week released his self-titled debut album, to be followed next Monday with the single 'Mystery'. Opening on a live drum loop, it gradually draws in piano and bass guitar notes to cater to the song's rich atmospheric instrumentation lines.
The video, directed by Steven Spencer, sees Bayston walking along a coastline, then encountering a beached whale...and more that you will have to watch the video below for.
