**COMPOSED after the death** of his father, Oli’s second studio album, in collaboration with Brighton indie-noir band **Birdeatsbaby**, touches on raw and personal themes including the emotional fallout of a toxic relationship.

**Darryl W. Bullock**, author of *David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music*, says: *“With Gaslight Illuminations, Oli Spleen comes of age. Battle-scarred and world-weary he may be, but Gaslight Illuminations is his most tender and personal collection to date.*

*“Touching on French chanson and Weimar cabaret, on death and loss, Gaslight Illuminations is a mesmerising work from an artist who has embraced his maturity.”*

The launch will also include performances from **Pink Narcissus**, **Hana Piranha**, **Birdeatsbaby** and **Oli Spleen’s Gaslight Band**.
