ABOUT

Prophecy Playground is an alternative-folk project founded by guitarist singer-songwriter and composer Or Izekson.
Combining gentle melancholic songs and instrumental themes on the acoustic guitar composed on various tuning alterations with a dynamic string section, Prophecy Playground’s music creates a semi-forgotten, yet newly imagined sound - a kind of Folk which combines the melancholic with mysterious and mellow with dramatic - thus offering a unique take on contemporary Folk music.

On February 2020 Prophecy Playground’s released their anticipated debut album “Comfort Zone” on the Dutch international record label Friendly Folk Records. Though released in close proximity with the COVID-19 crises, the album received warm reviews on several acclaimed international music magazines.

Prophecy Playground's creations present a Neo-Folk vision which is elaborative yet focuses on a strictly acoustic production that blends skillful acoustic guitar playing together with enigmatic arrangements for string section along with other occasional orchestral instruments and solid percussion - whilst not harming the gentleness and fragility of the songs’ core.

Prophecy Playground’s songs deal with one's struggle for inner-self embetterment, the lack of purpose in the virtual age, and a perpetual longing for a home - both in the physical and the spiritual one.

In 2019 the band started performing in various venues and festivals and made a UK live debut in London. With live music's return after COVID19, Izekson went back on stage and performed an NYC mini-tour and on KMC, an online music showcase in Japan. In October 22' Prophecy Playground went on a debut EU tour, with shows at various venues & festivals. In October 2023, Izekson made his debut Japan tour with shows throughout the country.

After producing and releasing three back 2 back instrumental projects for major music licensing co. Artlist, Prophecy Playground is expected to release it's 2nd album, in the Autumn of 2025.
