oliver tank burst seemingly out of nowhere with his own brand of incredibly textural glitch pop. but don't be fooled, he's no stranger to the game, having played music in various forms since he was young. he now combines real instruments with computers to create heartfelt soundscapes so vivid they could only be dreamed of.
the last month or so has been huge for oliver, filled with many firsts. his debut ep 'dreams' was released less than a month ago and has quickly traveled by word of mouth, attracting incredible reviews all over the globe.
the single 'last night i heard everything in slow motion' was recently used in getup's campaign for marriage equality. it's their most successful campaign ever, over the first week it was the highest trending viral video on youtube, with over 3 million views!
oliver's just been nominated by sydney's fbi radio for a smac award in the "next big thing" category and triple j has included him in their "next crop 2011". richard kingsmill described oliver's single 'embrace' as "in a word: perfect".
his music is near perfect. it is elegant and contemplative electronica, filled with beautiful sounds, understated vocals and quirky emotion; perfect for a quiet afternoon with a good book.
