Oliver Tree – Do You Feel Me?
I have very little to say about this album, and that isn’t a negative. The less you know about Oliver Tree the better. Oliver Tree is weird. His music is weird, his personality is weird; everything is one ginormous continuous joke and it’s awesome. This newest album ‘Do You Feel Me?’ Is a continuation of his signature melting pot of pop, rock, hiphop, trap and electronic. His music isn’t something that is easy to explain, it is something that has to just be digested by the individual.
Whilst the track ‘Alien Boy’ is Oliver’s opus and has featured on everything he has released, my favourite track on this album is ‘Hurt’. With its doomy guitar riff mixed with an explosive electronic bass riff creates for an awesome, slightly creepy bop. Oliver is just an artist that despite how odd they are, the work they create is ridiculously consistent and true to themselves. I listened to all of these tracks to an almost addicted level this year; they’re simple, catchy and just a little bit different that the norm. All of this coupled with a phenomenal live show I witnessed a few weeks ago, Oliver has stayed consistently a favourite of mine over the past two years, and this album is a shining example of such.

And that’s all you get for this one. Experience Oliver Tree for yourself. He/it is equal parts awesome and hilarious. Come back on Sunday for my no. 3 release of the year. I can guarantee it will be a lot more in-depth than this one!
