Oliver Decrow's debut album, "I'm Too Young to Die", emerges as a culmination of his reputation for stirring live performances. Offering a deeply personal narrative, the album invites listeners to traverse a diverse array of emotional terrain, from profound sorrow to tentative hope.
Opening with a poignant reflection on the loss of a friend to suicide, the album sets a tone of introspection that reverberates throughout its entirety. Decrow's lyrical exploration delves into themes of self-doubt, love, and the resilience of the human spirit, with each track serving as a window into his emotional and psychological landscape. Standout compositions like the infectious club anthem "Lost Adult" and the introspective "Subconscious Waves" offer captivating glimpses into the artist's psyche, while tracks such as "Hidden Darkness" demand attention with their arresting intensity.
Musically, Decrow's style fuses darkwave elements with ambient undertones, resulting in a sound that is simultaneously ethereal and grounded.

From the dancefloor-ready energy of "Birthcage" to the emotionally charged "Unsatisfied Enough" and the experimental "My Bitter Tears", each song captivates with its instrumental prowess, vocal delivery, or innovative composition.
The album's acknowledgments section serves as a heartfelt expression of gratitude to Decrow's collaborators and supporters, including his wife Kiki and key figures from Cold Transmission Music and the broader independent music community. This network of personal and professional relationships not only underscores the communal spirit of the scene but also highlights the collaborative effort behind Decrow's artistic vision.
