Acoustic guitar riffs, layered harmonies, electronic beats, pots and pans percussion, and tape cassette cut-ups with hydrophone recordings from Oxfordshire rivers and canals. Sylvan Esso taking an afternoon bike ride in Björk’s ever-evolving soundscapes. “Move Like Rivers” out on November 7th—the first single from my upcoming EP Peach Pine Ocean (February 6, 2026).

Move like Rivers

Not Let You Go

Let It Be the Wind

The river runs the way it knows,
Through broken stones and buried roads.
I tried to fight the undertow,
But some things heal when you let go.

The night can teach what daylight hides,
The heart still beats when hope divides.

So let it be the wind that carries,
Let it be the time that mends.
Not every battle needs the warrior,
Some fires fade and light again.
If the world turns slow, just stay —
Good will find its gentle way.

I’ve seen the storm refuse to break,
Till silence taught the earth to wake.
You can’t pull roots that won’t come free,
The bloom will come eventually.

There’s peace in waiting, still and small,
The sky still listens after all.

So let it be the wind that carries,
Let it be the time that mends.
Not every river needs a ferry,
Some tears fall and then they end.
If the night feels long, just stay —
Good will find its gentle way.

No need to push, no need to plead,
The dawn will come to what you need.
Every shadow, every scar,
Fades beneath the morning star.

So let it be the wind that carries,
Let it be the time that mends.
You don’t have to change the story,
Just believe it makes some sense.
When your faith begins to sway —
Good will find its gentle way.

Just wait, and breathe, and let it be,
The good you seek is finding *thee.*



Let It Be the Wind

Breathe In Breathe Out _ Indie Folk

She stands by the window the kettle’s on low
The world hums quiet in the afterglow
A letter from work says the city’s in bloom
But her boy’s at the table drawing the moon

The weight of the coin it cuts both ways
Reach for the stars or the life she’s made
You can’t hold both when the moment’s thin
You just breathe deep and toss it again

Her sister writes soft from a field gone dry
The harvest failed and the bank ran high
She folds the page like a prayer half-said
Some hopes grow wild some hopes go to bed

Her father sleeps light in a room grown small
She hums him the tune he taught in the fall
The dawn calls loud but her heart stands still
Some roads wait and always will

The weight of the coin it cuts both ways
Reach for the stars or the life she’s made
You can’t hold both when the moment’s thin
You just breathe deep and toss it again

A girl by the tracks with a suitcase torn
Says every leaving’s another reborn
She walks toward dusk without looking back
The sun still burns where the sky turns black

Every choice is a shadow’s bend
Every loss can help you mend
What you keep is what you learn
Every road will start to turn

The weight of the coin it cuts both ways
Hope in the dark or the light that fades
You can’t hold both when the moment’s thin
You just breathe deep and toss it again

Toss of a coin

Early demo of “Far Leys.”

This one came from imagining a visit to Far Leys — the quiet country house where Nick Drake once lived. The feeling is like walking through an old orchard in summer, hoping to reconnect with someone you can’t quite reach anymore.
It’s soft, simple, and a bit dreamy. Just guitar, voice, and a moment.

Still rough around the edges, but I wanted to share it before I start polishing.

Far Leys (Demo Mix)

Finally got to do a cross country trip with my brother. We started in New York City and the finish line was San Francisco. Never thought I'd see the wild horses of California during this life time. Such a rare thing In a world of robots and screens.

The River is a heartfelt folk song that explores emotions through the image of a river, at times torrential, at times peacefully drifting

The River

Forget Me Knots

A nostalgic country-folk song about the small things that shaped a life — Jell-O in the kitchen, mixtapes for a first love, and a wobbly table in a first apartment.
Warm, reflective, and full of heart, Things I Can’t Find Anymore captures the sound of memories fading into golden light.

Things I Can't Find Anymore

Wild.Era is not an artist but a creative project focused on musical experimentation. Blending elements of rock (heavy, symphonic, and dark gothic), folk (classic and dark Americana), soul, blues, and acoustic/classical instrumentation, Wild.Era explores connections between genres that rarely intersect. The project’s goal is to create a cohesive emotional experience through a distinctive mix of contrasting musical styles.

As a niche initiative, Wild.Era communicates and distributes its work exclusively through Spotify, Soundcloud and other specialized music distribution platforms. No social network profiles are maintained.

Sylvan Esso taking an afternoon bike ride in Björk’s ever-evolving soundscapes. Danish Oxford-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, music producer blending craft-folk with cassette tape cut-ups, found sounds, pots and pans percussion, lushly layered harmonies and electronic beats.

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

Barbonus is a German lyricist who treats songwriting as a form of literature. His tracks begin with words – fragments of prose, quiet observations, poetic disruptions – and build outward into minimalist soundscapes.

Instead of writing hits, Barbonus writes moments. His lyrics don’t chase hooks; they linger, reveal, suggest. Framed by gentle synths and indie-flavored textures, his work explores memory, digital disconnection, and the beauty of unfinished thoughts.

Beyond his solo work, Barbonus moves between several constellations:
• with Vela Sorell he forms the duo BC25, exploring fragile songs of memory and breath.
• with Klarstein.rocks he releases playful Country-inspired tracks and writes German lyrics in the ironic spirit of the NDW.
• in his archive work, he reconstructs cassette recordings from the 1990s, recovering fragments from a rehearsal basement.

With growing attention from international blogs describing his sound as “electronica with heart” and “a softer, more introspective space,” Barbonus positions himself less as a performer and more as a narrator. A voice at the edge of the frame, crafting scenes in words before sound enters the room.

For him, music is not the message – it’s the carrier wave.

I'm a French singer songwriter crafting introspective folk songs with dreamy melodies and evocative lyrics. My music feels like a comforting conversation telling stories about life's transitions, memories and the feeling of home.
