Black Like Oil's first EP, 'Past Perfect Continues', can be compared to a video store with soundtracks to episodes of our lives. That's why their songs, despite how different they are - some of them are melancholic, some are full of passion and energy - all are dreamy. Cinema is a dream factory, just like the 'past perfect continuous' - it offers you to plunge into the atmosphere of your favorite movies and feel like one of their characters.

Each song - each 'soundtrack' - of their EP has its own source of influence.

'Happily Ever After' plays with David Lynch's 'bad guys in leather jackets' breaking the hearts of young and dreamy girls.

'The Aid' - with images of Highlander, Terminator and David Bowie's Goblin King.

'Icarus' explores the duality of synthwave music, reactiveness and thoughtfulness - and looks back at Marty McFly's journey.

And, of course, there is a particular track inspired by Nicolas Winding Refn's 'Drive' - 'The Day I Met You' - but the influence of the film extends to the entire album.
