You're So Kool-Aid

Oliver Wilde

Howling Owl Records / Amplify Music

WE SAY

Bristol-based artist Oliver Wilde delivers something unique here on this song from his third album Post-Frenz Container Buzz. Already, there have been glowing reviews from the likes of Metro, Uncut, Crack Magazine, Record Collector, The Irish Times and, most notably, The Sunday Times, who compared it favourably to some of the weirder moments that The Beatles gave us on their White Album. Radio support to date has come from Huw Stephens, Gideon Coe, Tom Ravenscroft and Don Letts, and the team at Amazing Radio. Tomorrow (February 23), there’a lunchtime instore event at Rough Trade East, followed by an evening LP launch at Servant Jazz Quarters with Rhain & Nugget. Melodic hooks are peppered throughout this engaging song but it's wonky, woozy cacophonous pop from a musician who was desperate to pour down onto tape the thoughts in his head whilst recovering from the double whammy of a relationship split and a major health scare. Fresh, honest music like this is rare, so embrace it and you'll find yourself drawn back to this time and time again.
