Following on from a breakthrough 2015 via undeniable singles ‘Holy Holy’ and ‘Denny’s’, Melbourne-based producer, Owen Rabbit, has announced tour dates and returned with new single ‘Weeds’ – pushing the envelope with another brilliantly crafted cut that solidifies the multi-instrumentalist as one of the most exciting artists currently producing DIY experimental-electronica.
Combining themes of pop, jazz, soul, post-hardcore and electronica – whilst looping sounds made with toys and rubbish – ‘Weeds’ defies all that is conventional transitioning in between the aforementioned with clear-cut precision and remaining cohesive from start-to-finish.
Past singles ‘Holy Holy’ and ‘Denny’s received overwhelming support via worldwide blogs, radio including BBC1 (UK), triple j (AUS), Apple Music’s Beats 1 with Ellie Goulding and featured on Spotify’s playlists ‘New Music Friday’ and ‘Fresh Finds’.
After touring nationally alongside SAFIA, Boo Seeka and JOY., Owen is yet again gearing up to traverse the Australian countryside this time with triple j Unearthed Laneway Festival competition winners A.D.K.O.B.
Owen will also be heading to Europe for a string of touring dates and to perform at the UK’s most prestigious music industry showcase ‘The Great Escape’ where he will be aiming to leave the same mark he did last October during his showcasing stint in New York for CMJ Music Marathon.
‘Weeds’ is lifted from the debut self-titled EP due for release in July and will feature ‘Denny’s’, ‘Holy Holy’ and four other brand new tracks.
