Of late Oye has been exceptionally busy promoting ‘Unrest’ around the world with his temporary touring band, The Full Effect. More dates in North America performing as a solo artist are also planned shortly.

The melodic beats and mellow vocal on ‘Sheltered Life’ are an accurate snapshot of the whole album, which was recorded in ten different cities, each time with an alternative producer. ‘Sheltered Life’ seems to be a song exclusively for people who have been left seriously brain fried by their weekend. The insipid single is slightly enlivened by The Youngsters remix, but the acoustic bonus version only reinforces the tedium.
