Arjuna Oakes & Serebii release first single ‘Tired Faces’ from their sophomore ‘Final Days’ EP
The much-awaited and highly-anticipated sophomore EP, Final Days, from Arjuna Oakes & Serebii’s duo project with LA-based boundary-pushing indie label Innovative Leisure will be released on Friday October 14, 2022, with the first single Tired Faces out on Wednesday, August 31, 2022.
The first single off of Arjuna Oakes & Serebii’s new EP Final Days, Tired Faces is an exciting and psychedelic return to the lush sonic world first created by the duo on their 2021 EP First Nights.
Riding on an infectious groove and playful atmosphere, Tired Faces showcases both artists’ creativity to the fullest as they continue to expand upon their sound of quiet storm R&B, jazz, bedroom pop & downtempo.
Oakes’ Thom Yorke–reminiscent pipes turn the song into a pure vapor—more a gas hovering in the landscape than a file on a computer. This single is for fans of: Rhye, Moses Sumney, Tom Misch, Yussef Dayes, Nick Hakim, Hiatus Kaiyote, etc.
