We feel with every new piece of music, from Sky_A we get to see another impressive layer of his artistic vision . We couldn’t help but be completely mesmerized by his latest single “Old Boy

We felt a very David Bowie, “Space Oddity” theme with “Old Boy” , and we very much enjoyed that element of the track.

Incorporating darker elements of electronic production, crunching alternative rock, and progressive-folk, and packed with dynamic, melodic twists and turns, it’s a distorted and dystopian dive into the unique world around his music.

Commenting on the single, he says: Oldboy is the first track on the album. It’s like an overture, establishing the space and the themes of the record. It’s been described as the soundtrack to an unmade film. An encounter on a bridge, a visitation. A troubled kid is given a mission, promised a hero’s welcome. And then the theme comes in. Somewhere between Nick Drake and Faithless via Moderat, it’s pretty experimental genre wise.”

 track is the latest to be taken from his forthcoming new album Labyrinths, set for release on March 25, 2025 and follows on from the aptly-titled lead single ‘Running Out Of Winter’ which dropped earlier this year.

Currently developing the 50-minute audiovisual album launch show that will debut on March 28th at The Bath House, Hackney in London, Sky_A says that audiences can anticipate animmersive experience where sound and sight converge. “You can expect to be taken into a world,” he promises, “of beauty and oppressive force, where dynamic contrasts in music are mirrored by visuals that describe intangible forms and currents, infinite cities, energetic bodies.”

Avant-garde audiovisual artist and musician Sky_A is adept at weaving together disparate threads of storytelling, emotion, and soundscape. From his earliest days in a musically rich household, he has nurtured a passion for narrative—a quest to evoke emotion and transport his audience through the alchemy of sound and vision. I like painting pictures in whatever medium, bringing an audience on a journey with me,” he reflects.

Deriving his stage name from his birth name Sky Ainsbury, the Sky_A moniker speaks to a personal connection, but also describes the scope of his creative canvas, hinting at realms of imagination and parallel realities.

We are looking forward to the release of , “Labyrinths” and seeing what Sky_A has in store for us next.

Commenting on the single, he says: This track is kind of like a speed-run of a lot of different musical styles I’m using on the record, from the quiet and personal vocal-led stuff to really technical arrangements later on. It’s a moment of conflict and crisis on the album, between the human heart and the machine bearing down on it.”

Lumen Prize-shortlisted video artistcurrently touring live visuals for electronic musician Rival Consoles (Erased Tapes), Sky Ainsbury has spent the past several years honing his own sonic universe that is equal parts dystopian electronica and folk-inflected, heavy progressive rock.

Sky_A delivers an absolutely magical musical experience. “Running Out Of Winter “ is a mesmerizing track that showcase Sky_A at his absolute best. We can not wait for the release of Labyrinths”
