Oliver Tank’s Dreams EP In Top 5 Bandcamp Albums of 2011

Oliver Tank has burst seemingly out of nowhere with his own brand of incredibly textural glitch pop. Having played music in various forms since he was young, he now combines real instruments with computers to create heartfelt soundscapes so vivid they could only be dreamed of.

The last month has been huge for Oliver Tank, filled with many firsts. His debut EP Dreams was released less than a month ago and has quickly travelled by word of mouth, attracting incredible reviews all over the globe.

He’s picked up fans internationally with Mary Anne Hobbs playing multiple tracks from the EP on her XFM radio show, with plays also coming from BBC1 and BBC6 in the UK. Whilst, over in the US, NPR yesterday featured the EP in their top 5 bandcamp albums of 2011.

The single Last Night I Heard Everything in Slow Motion was recently used in Get Up’s campaign for marriage equality. It’s their most successful campaign ever; over the first week it was the highest trending viral video on YouTube, with over 3 million views!

Oliver’s just been nominated by FBi Radio for a SMAC award in the Next Big Thing category and Australia’s national youth network triple j has included him in their Next Crop 2011.
