| Q | A | |---|---| | Is “Jon” a real person or an alias? | Jon Miller is a real producer/singer from Manchester who has collaborated with Oldje on several tracks (e.g., “Neon Skies”). He’s credited simply as “Jon” on this release. | | Why pair the two songs instead of a traditional EP? | Oldje wanted a compact narrative—the two tracks act as “chapters”. Releasing them together emphasises the contrast and encourages listeners to experience the full arc in one sitting. | | Are there any hidden easter eggs in the music videos? | Yes! In “Black Angel”, a red feather appears in three separate frames; it mirrors the feather on the cover art and hints at the “angel” motif. In “Back to Love”, the rooftop garden contains a small statue of a phoenix, symbolising rebirth. | | Will there be a physical release? | A limited 7‑inch vinyl was released in June 2022 (500 copies). It sold out in two weeks. Pre‑orders for a deluxe CD+artbook are slated for early 2025. | | Can I use these songs in my own video projects? | For personal, non‑commercial use (e.g., TikTok, Instagram), the platforms’ built‑in licensing usually covers it. For commercial use, you’ll need to contact IndiePulse Records (licensing@indiepulse.com). | Oldje is an adult-oriented website that specializes in
