Vinyl Singles

Multi-instrumentalist Oscar Browne's roots lie in the foundational
intricacy of golden-age songwriting. A founding member of the London based folk-collective Broadside Hacks
(amongst other banded-ventures), Oscar Browne's debut solo endeavour 'Never
Quite Right' was released in 2022 to critical acclaim. Following a six-month spree in which Browne found himself tirelessly writing in
order to process the changes taking place around him, the five songs which
would eventually go on to form his debut EP 'If Only', are a deep-dive into the
heart and soul of an artist who masterfully captures all the joys and heartaches
of life in your early-twenties.


Recorded over one week at Bristol's The Playpen, home to producer Ali Chant
(Aldous Harding, Katy J Pearson), 'If Only' was all-in-all, a long time coming. Self-accustomed to doubling things up and hiding imperfections, it was through the
art of collaboration, and Ali's teachings in the power of emotional transparency
that the pairing of Browne and Chant really shined. "Ali was a massive part in
keeping the recordings minimal" notes Browne "he kept the rawness".


Oscar Browne's creative-capability is a limitless array of captivating delights.
These aren't simply re-interpretations of eras gone by. Browne channels as much
Ben Howard or Kurt Vile as he does Nick Drake and John Martyn. Rather, it's
through his ear for musical-lucidity, highlighted throughout the course of these
selected songs, that enables Browne to transport his love of traditional folk and
folklore, into a uniquely contemporary realm. His fearlessness in baring- all to
those who'll listen creates an artistic magnitude will only keep growing with fine
prowess, as Browne continues to cut his teeth as a beguiling 'one to watch'.
