We Are All Fossils is the musical project of South African-born singer-songwriter Deist Oelofse,blending folk songwriting with ambient textures and deeply personal storytelling. His music lives in
the space between stillness and change, reflecting on memory, time, and the quiet strength of the
natural world. Built around acoustic guitars, atmospheric layers, and an emotionally honest vocal,
the sound is intimate yet open, inviting listeners to slow down and listen closely.
Since the release of his second album, Gravity in Grief, the project has grown steadily through
word of mouth, passing one million streams while remaining fully independent. The record has
found its audience gradually, resonating with listeners drawn to its reflective and unguarded
approach.
Live, We Are All Fossils creates a strong sense of closeness and shared experience. Whether
performing solo or with a band, Deist’s performances are understated and present, drawing
audiences into something personal yet familiar. A special moment for the band came in late 2024
with a live session for the BBC at the iconic Maida Vale Studios.
We Are All Fossils continues to develop steadily, with a focus on writing, recording, and
allowing the songs to take shape over time
