Mont Oliver




In the words of the wise Swedish masters of pop Roxette, "Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus".  Obviously the Danes didn't get the memo.

Mont Oliver, a trio from Denmark have been putting out tracks for a while and are no strangers to online applause. Their last track, "19", has been out for a while and it truly has me torn.  The slow start (the first minute of verse), leaves a lot to be desired. It feels tragic lyrically, as if someone is reading a poem they had to write for their highschool English class over a loop recorded on their Casio keyboard...but then the magic happens. The one minute mark hits. It is like the clouds part, the rain stops and the sun starts to shine. It is only at this moment you are glad you waited to hear the song through instead of hitting next, and then you realize something, Mont Oliver are pretty solid.

I am sure soon a remix of 19 will fix the slow start giving the whole piece the soul that has been so beautifully infused into the chorus.

Hot Track(s): 19 (from the minute mark onward)

Kind of Like: Miike Snow with training wheels on.

PREDICTION:
The track 19 has showcased that there is a lot of talent in Mont Oliver, so with a few more tracks and even a full length album, we are bound to have these boys hearing their tracks on college radio shows around the globe.
