Released on May 24th, this captivating track paves the way for the eponymous EP to be released on June 13, 2024.
Hailing from Suffolk, O’Leary has already made waves in the music scene, having played at major festivals like Latitude, Wild Paths, and Lakefest. Named among BBC Introducing East’s ‘Artists to Watch’, O’Leary is now ready to showcase his emotive songwriting and inventive indie-folk instrumentation with the release of his upcoming debut EP, ‘Pretend (To Be Saviours)’.
Influenced by artists like Ben Howard, Bruce Springsteen, and Hozier, O’Leary’s music is a captivating blend of folk tendencies and alternative-indie instrumentation. Led by the vibrant title track ‘Pretend (To Be Saviours)’, this single is a high-octane indie anthem that captures the essence of folk within O’Leary’s signature style.
Speaking about the single, Leon explains: “I started writing Pretend (To Be Saviours) after my friend, Tom Dixon, (who was part of the band) was sending me some chord progression ideas through Instagram voice notes. We were both messing with this one progression sending voice messages back and forth until we got it right. The song is written about virtue signalling and saviour complexes in society, blindly following philosophies and ideologies with a shallow understanding in the hopes of appearing ‘righteous’ or morally superior rather than for the greater good.”
So, get ready to be captivated by Leon O’Leary’s enchanting melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. With ‘Pretend (To Be Saviours)’, O’Leary invites listeners on a musical journey they won’t soon forget.

Avohee Avoher Releases “Avohee Meets Bach”A Spiritual Collision of Bach, Choral Power and Modern Dance Energy -Now Available Worldwide
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote music that moved with force. Beneath the structure lived tension, release, devotion and emotion. More than three centuries later, that energy returns through Avohee Meets Bach, the third release in Avohee Avoher’s Addicted to Classics series.
This is not a remake. It is a rebirth.
Inspired by the emotional weight and architecture of Bach’s Chaconne in D minor from Partita No. 2, BWV 1004, and the legendary piano transcription tradition of Ferruccio Busoni, Avohee Meets Bach transforms classical intensity into a modern dance experience built for movement, atmosphere and emotional release.
Ancient meets modern.
Operatic choir rises through hypnotic rhythm. Sacred Latin phrases intertwine with haunting German whispers. Spiritual energy collides with underground pulse. Emotion builds, pressure rises, tension releases.
Kyrie eleison.
Lux aeterna.
The result is cinematic, uplifting, sensual and powerful.
Created for the dance floor but carrying the weight of classical tradition, Avohee Meets Bach moves between worlds. It belongs equally in the underground club, the international festival arena and the listener seeking something deeper inside electronic music.
This is not nostalgia.
It is transformation.
