Arrival
I was immediately intrigued with Oly. Her “A
Hot Hooray” arrived in layers of transparent packaging and
included mysterious and sensual pictures to increase
my interest in the music.
Immediately, I felt strangely drawn and
faintly connected. Oly’s tone is sweet and lucid. Her delicate
voice carves out abstract thoughts in subtle eclectic, stream-of-consciousness
pop stylings.
Oly was born in LA and throughout her childhood in Miami,
she played with sounds and music. She made rap songs with her brother,
played with her miniature piano during those early years of leisure,
and as she grew up, was exposed to late 70’s disco music
by her father and the 80’s pop music of the day by her older
sister. After making an early impression in the Florida indie-rock
scene, Oly recently moved to Chicago and has recently returned
from a west coast tour.
A Hot Hooray releases August 2, 2005, and
a CD release party is planned for August 18 at Sonotheque in
Chicago.
We Oly
and can’t wait for more.
