London’s alt-rock firebrand Oliver Anderson delivers a punch to the gut with To Kill a Saint. This isn’t your typical debut—it’s a manifesto wrapped in five blistering tracks that tackle everything from political rage to the demons lurking in our minds.
The title track? Pure fire. Anderson channels gothic western energy through a classic rock lens, weaving tales of witch hunts with modern paranoia. It’s heavy, it’s haunting, and honestly… it’ll stick with you for days.
"Money (Life)" shifts gears entirely, offering something catchier yet still sharp enough to cut. Meanwhile, "Sinking Ship" unleashes pure punk fury against systemic corruption.
Then comes "Echo Chamber"—arguably the EP’s most vulnerable moment. Anderson confronts mental health struggles and suicidal ideation with brutal honesty that’s both terrifying and cathartic. The tonal whiplash across these tracks? That’s the point.
Producer Jennings Couch captured lightning in a bottle during their month-long sessions at Holywell Studios. The production feels deliberately unpolished in places—urgent, alive, real. Anderson’s vocals match that energy perfectly: gritty when they need to be, but always dripping with conviction.
To Kill a Saint isn’t background music. It demands your attention, challenges your comfort zone, and proves Anderson’s not here to play nice with industry expectations.
