Olive Tiger
Olive Tiger is an evolution of sound and texture: a nontraditional rock group that lushly combines electronics with organic elements of chamber-pop, defying the boundaries of genre in favor of obsessive exploration. Olive Tiger features an unusual collection of instrumentation featuring Olive (cello, guitar, vocals), Jesse Newman (violin, synths, electronics), and John McGrath (drums, percussion). The group’s sophomore collection, a series of EPs titled Softest Eyes, continues the expansion of their sound palette with "Side B" due out October 14, 2022. Softest Eyes features distinctly-crafted tracks ranging from disarmingly sunny to alluringly moody, drawing from a full and complex range of human experiences. (For fans of St. Vincent, Sylvan Esso, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and Angel Olsen.)
