On ‘Til The End’, songwriter and producer October purveys pure artistic brilliance. Creating a sound unique to anything on the scene today, October demonstrates why she is set to become a cultural icon for years to come. Fusing together post-punk, psych, grunge, glam, and alternative, to name just a few sounds, ‘Til The End’ is a track that is invigorating and fresh. Impossible to pigeonhole it possesses swagger and exhilaration in equal measures, perfectly encapsulating October’s persona.
October wrote and produced the entire Certificate Of Participation EP, including the new single ‘Til The End’’ herself, and it was co-produced by esteemed producer Yves Rothman (Amaarae, Blondhsell, Yves Tumor, Sunflower Bean).
Speaking about ‘Til The End’, October said:
“More and more these days I tend to picture the end of the world as we know it as a very real and fast approaching event. Over the last few years my dreams are plagued more and more by these vivid apocalyptic scenarios. So I guess in drawing inspiration from this very real fear, the song imagines a love that withstands the harsh conditions of floodwaters, heatwaves and biblical locust plagues – despite the imminent approach of death and destruction, two lovers would have each other to the bitter end.
But viewed through the lens of a metaphor, it’s about loving someone despite the pain or friction or toxicity the relationship may have disintegrated into, and loving someone regardless of how unhealthy it may be for you, whether you want to or not.
I had a vision of running against a burning sunset, bleeding onto funeral pyres which became the premise of the music video I shot with my best friend Alex Schipper. In hindsight though, I’m not sure if I’m running to or from the arms of a lover and subconsciously maybe that’s been the point the whole time.”
On Wednesday July 24th, October And The Eyes will play what is set to be a standout show at The Shacklewell Arms, London. You can purchase tickets HERE.
