Following on from the single 'Atlantis' and 'Asia's Lonely Hearts', Olympia's much anticipated debut release is finally here. The musical project of Olivia Bartley will be launched at The Toff in Town with a very special nine piece band and supported by guests Blood Red Bird and Conor Farrell.
There is an unknown quality hidden within the sound of Olympia that communicates the deepest emotional history. Her voice soars with a humble magnificence over the sparse yet pronounced playing of guitars, violins, horns, keys, and drums. Many-layered vocal patterns gently ebb before the occasional glance of glorious transcendental release, appearing just long enough for a listener to notice their breath is still being held.
The self titled ep features contributions from artists including Simon Braxton (Fur Patrol), Georgia Fields, Patrick Bourke (Gentlemen of Fortune), Mike Caruana (Hoodlum Shouts), Lizzy Welsh (Blood Red Bird) and Judith Hamann.
