âSo Van Common possesses a new realm of music genre called Skygaze. Sebastiaan van Ravenhorst is the solo moniker of Van Common from Amsterdam and is a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter. What a story he has...So as a true hermit, the young man retreated to a small beach house in the southwest of the Netherlands. D.I.Y was his credo: writing, singing, playing all instruments and recording, everything done by himself. He raided the local supermarket, in order to have enough provisions for a weekâs work on his own. âI didnât want to get out of the house anymore,â he says. âI wanted to completely let go of my every day surroundings and focus on writing and recording music for the EP.â The result is an apt introduction to his mix of dream-pop, shoegaze and glo-fi sounds. Boasting infectious melodies, his songs haunt you like a ghost to take over your mind completely. And thatâs Van Commonâs intention: to crossover from the subconscious to the conscious.
