Of late Oye has been exceptionally busy promoting ‘Unrest’ around the world with his temporary touring band, The Full Effect. More dates in North America performing as a solo artist are also planned shortly. The melodic beats and mellow vocal on ‘Sheltered Life’ are an accuratesnapshot of the whole album, which was recorded in ten different cities, eachtime with an alternative producer. ‘Sheltered Life’ seems to be asong exclusively for people who have been left seriously brain fried by theirweekend. The insipid single is slightly enlivened by The Youngsters remix, butthe acoustic bonus version only reinforces the tedium. Gavin Eves |
