Joseph Rabjohns and Lachlan R. Dale’s Oleeae is a breathtaking instrumental journey that drifts between delicate introspection and soaring cinematic grandeur. Opening with an ethereal wash of ambience and intricate finger-picked guitar, the piece gradually unfolds into a sweeping post rock crescendo—each note carrying a sense of reverence and quiet strength.
The duo, known for their work in Kodiak Empire, Black Aleph, and Hashshashin, seamlessly blend influences from post rock, classical guitar, ambient music, and film scores, crafting a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. Oleeae is more than just a composition; it’s a deeply personal tribute. Written in memory of Rabjohns’ late grandmother, the track carries the spirit of her favorite flower—lilacs, whose botanical tribus is Oleeae—imbuing every chord with a sense of love and remembrance.
