We Are All Fossils is the musical project of South African-born singer-songwriter Deist Oelofse,
blending folk songwriting with ambient textures and deeply personal storytelling. His music lives in
the space between stillness and change, reflecting on memory, time, and the quiet strength of the
natural world. Built around acoustic guitars, atmospheric layers, and an emotionally honest vocal,
the sound is intimate yet open, inviting listeners to slow down and listen closely.
Since the release of his second album, Gravity in Grief, the project has grown steadily through
word of mouth, passing one million streams while remaining fully independent. The record has
found its audience gradually, resonating with listeners drawn to its reflective and unguarded
approach.
Live, We Are All Fossils creates a strong sense of closeness and shared experience. Whether
performing solo or with a band, Deist’s performances are understated and present, drawing
audiences into something personal yet familiar. A special moment for the band came in late 2024
with a live session for the BBC at the iconic Maida Vale Studios.
We Are All Fossils continues to develop steadily, with a focus on writing, recording, and
allowing the songs to take shape over time
JACK BROWNING
Jack Browning is a London-born singer-songwriter and acclaimed painter blending country, folk, blues, and rock. His debut album Red Eye Radio (2023) earned praise for its raw storytelling from the likes of Whispering Bob Harris, Ben Tod, Holler, Whiskey Riff and American Songwriter.
Jack has toured the UK, Europe, and US, sharing stages with Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Vincent Neil Emerson, Asleep At The Wheel, Willi Carlisle, and The White Buffalo, Kaitlin Butts and Noeline Hofmann at festivals like Red Rooster, Laurel Cove, Black Deer and Healing Appalachia.
His second album Painted Skies (2026) explores love, loss, and family.
Jack also exhibits his visual art globally, with a sold-out debut solo show at Western Gallery in Austin in early 2025 preceding a landmark, sold-out showing at The Far West, curated by Mark Maggiori and Petecia LeFawnhawk and including Jeremy Lipking, Glenn Dean, and more.

Combining elements of folk, Americana, blues and rock and roll , packaged in power pop melodies with often introspective and whimsical lyrics. Originally from Essex, now residing in London, Anderton has crafted a sound that is a reminiscent of days gone by, whilst showcasing a personal and witty take on everyone’s favourite topics such as love and longing. Drawing comparisons to the golden age of singer songwriters, Anderton hopes that Greene is a fresh take on all the music that has served as his inspiration.
