Having teamed up with Jorge Elbrecht (Kirin J Callinan, No Joy) and Joshua Rumble (Black Country New Road) to achieve this sound on his upcoming album and singles. Oliver Marson blends music from the 60s, 70s and 80s to create a catchy baroque pop sound. This is ludicrous music for ludicrous times and satire for life in late capitalism. His lyrics take more from contemporary rap artists like Danny Brown rather than the current zeitgeist of guitar bands, because of their provocative nature. “Manipulator” features Christina Lopez on drums (Lava la rue, Empathy Test), Charles Cave on bass (White Lies) and backup vocals from Maya Harrisson (For Breakfast).

Drew Davies is from the North York’s Moors. After starting his musical career in the rock n roll trenches of London and moonlighting for whoever would have him he now resides in the post-industrial artistic hotbed of Glasgow. 

He has written many songs and played some iconic shows. From London' s Scala and legendary Underworld to Download Festival & the Brudenell Social. He has also been fortunate enough to have his music played by BBC DJ's such as Mickey Bradley (BBC Ulster), Gary Crowley (BBC London), Bruce Dickinson (BBC 6), Jericho Keys (BBC Introducing) and the late great Janice Long (BBC Wales) amongst others.

His latest work is his most expansive, inspired by the world around him and the themes of love, loss and the human experience. Drew has created a sonic soundscape that can feel ominous like a storm rolling over a city or comforting like the warm sun caressing the back of your neck. This approach has garnered him praise from publications such as Earmilk, Clash, Music Crowns and Wonderland.
