Bored Nothing

Functioning from his bedroom and documenting all of the parts by himself such as a true ’90s indie rock and roll obsessive, Melbourne, Australia local Fergus Miller started releasing tracks via Bandcamp this year 2010 using the OTHER ACTIVITIES EP beneath the name Splintered Oar. His lo-fi, bedroom folk audio conjured up a far more experimental Elliott Smith, and Miller’s tone of voice do keep an uncanny resemblance towards the past due singer’s angelic croon.
