The track itself was recorded RML Studios by Ryan Pinson (God Damn, Riscas, The Assist).
“I started making music with Ryan, for companies to use for their corporate events and that’s when I began getting back into writing again. It was clear that we have a great working relationship,” explained Ohm.
“We’d been listening to Hans Zimmer and that sort of crept in as a big influence. It was good to work with Julianne Bourne on strings to really bring the song to life.”
Retreat is available digitally via Apple Music and Spotify now.
