Live Review: Nearly Oratorio will make you cry again with 'Occlude'

With the release date for his EP 'Tin' coming ever closer NEARLY ORATORIO has given us a second glimpse at what is to come with his newest single 'Occlude.'

With the release date for his EP, Tin coming ever closer NEARLY ORATORIO has given us a second glimpse at what is to come with his newest single 'Occlude.'

For Nearly Oratorio aka Simon Lam this is the second single of the quickly aging new year, with the lead single 'Tin' (which gave his upcoming EP it's name) having been released only a month ago.

'Occlude' is the kind of track that demands all the attention of the listener, so much so that it is impossible to write about the track whilst simultaneously listening to it. The music pushes words from my head and politely demands I just listen. It's the sort of music everyone needs in their lives, to put the fast pace of the outside world on hold for five minutes (and one second) and let us recenter ourselves before going on with our day again.

Give yourself a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life and give 'Occlude' a listen.

Nearly Oratorio's EP 'Tin' is due out April 11 and will be available both digitally and on vinyl.
