About

Having previously produced the likes of Royksopp Datarock and Kings of Convenience, the Bergen, Norway-native dePresno is blossoming once again. For his fourth birthday, dePresnoreceived a guitar from his parents. After getting a lot of musical influence from them in the form of Cohen, Dylan, and Bob Marley, he picked up the guitar. At 17 years old, dePresno received a new gift: his brother spent his savings to give him a day in a recording studio, where the producer there jumped to the roof and scheduled a meeting with MADE management. From then on, dePresno kept recording, and his first song, “Forever”, was released in May 2016. The second single released by the young musician, “Stranger in Disguise”, was released late October of that year. Unlike the sparse fluidities that make up the soundscape for “Forever”, this latest offering retains an arrangement that encompasses a grand and frankly beautiful composition. Subtly placed electronics are polished off with a set of grand percussive flourishes as a spectacularly soft and pleasant piano progression gives the track its lush aesthetic. Hear dePresno’s crisp delivery, and you’ve got yourself something quite special. His voice floats across the instrumentation, ranging from warming tones to higher flurries of falsetto in the chorus that only strengthens the overall effect.
