‘Rapture’ is the latest stunning piece of alternative folk from the hand of We Are All Fossils. The song highlights Deist’s incredible voice and ability to create soft and simple, heart wrenching soundscapes.
Following single ‘Hollow’, we had high hopes for ‘Rapture’, as ‘Hollow’ is the track we put on when emotions are bottled up and need to be set free. His ability to write songs, short stories, that are so vulnerable and open-hearted make him an artist to watch in particular this year. ‘Rapture’ was released on Mahogany Songs and showcases the South African artist’s way of blending contemporary folk elements with an ambient atmosphere. ‘Rapture’ emerged from a period of deep reflection during his time spent in the Lake District, where the dramatic natural landscape became both a muse and a metaphor.
Oelofse elaborates: “‘Rapture’ captures the journey of breaking free from numbness and embracing change. Inspired by mornings in the Lake District, the song reflects on nature’s resilience – how it adapts to shifting conditions, no matter how harsh. This sparked a personal reckoning with my own resistance to change and the impact it’s had over time.” He stunned with a solo acoustic performance at Sofar Sounds Newcastle just a few months ago, and stuns again with this release and its video matching its hazy dream folk sound perfectly!
