Controlled Mourning (Excerpt)

We asked Equador and David O' Dowda to rework Tiny Leaves - You'll be Okay which was originally released by Pegdoll for Piano Day 2017.

Equador are Henry Binns (Zero 7) and Bo Bruce who with their recent album Bones of Man tasted success with a no 1 on the iTunes UK electronic chart as well as recent appearances on CBS 'Elementary', MTV Catfish and NFL 2016. David O’Dowda is an Irish composer and multi-instrumentalist living in Manchester. He has composed music and songs that have been used worldwide on various films, television promos, programs and advertising including Homelands, The Walking Dead, ‘Netflix Originals’ ‘Hot Girls Wanted’ to name a few.

The infectious Equador sound entices musical osmosis alongside the original composition. Bo Bruce's reflective words and ability to find strength of melody syncs perfectly with Henry Binns' subtle production, increasing perceptual fluency with each Equador release.

David O'Dowda lays down a raw retrospective on the plight of refugees, instilling hope, whilst amplifying the need to acknowledge other humans. An emotive subject matter draws the listener in, highlighting the lyrical content and vocal beauty.

As with the original recordings 'You'll Be Okay Reworked' might not save the world but it will evoke nostalgia for the future.

Tiny Leaves recommences his musical journey with Pegdoll in October 2017 delivering his next album 'Notes on Belonging'.
