Dancing Through A Slow Apocalypse

An Original highly anticipated Ep titled “Dancing Through A Slow Apocalypse” By Meadow Argus is a seven-track EP set to be released during the early days of January 2023 Jevan Cole, the man behind the musical project Meadow Argus, is a songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who has had a career in music that many people only dream of. After a stint with Brisbane Psych-Pop band Baton Rouge in the 1980s, Jevan started his journey as a classical guitarist and started to investigate what was truly possible in an investigation beyond the realm of music. His musical endeavors have always tended to focus on the shadowy recesses of the human psyche. His compositions are influenced and informed by mythic literature, esoterica, and ecological soundscapes in addition to drawing from the rich well of traditional folk music and lore. His music combines the mundane with the esoteric, earth with space, and reason with spirit. He is also an environmentalist, a field ecologist, and a gardener. All of Jevan's years of research finally came together in Maleny, a town in Australia's Sunshine Coast hinterland, to create a shimmering, cinematic, and genre-defying musical masterpiece. Meadow Argus, the name of a species of local butterfly as well as a gardener, field ecologist, and environmentalist, was inspired by Jevan's love of his surroundings and the inspiration it inspires.
