Olivemoon. Forest Folk to build log cabins.


Melodic guitars, mandolins, ukuleles, violins, violas, keyboards, xylophones, glockenspiels, tambourines, didgeridoos and vocal voices seas. A massive party of sounds, textures and atmospheres. Songs that grow and grow until it seems to be bursting. The perfect combination of multiple elements in a result grandly carved. This is Olivemoon. A real treat that will soon cease to be a little secret known in Barcelona.
Olivemoon comes from the hand of the musicians Marc Navarro and Jona Oliva, who have been joined on Ignasi Canals, Kim and Laura Peratt Resin. All are multinstrumentistas, some classical training, and traditional hand tools. This fact, coupled with their great creativity and guidance for experimentation, provokes a very good basis for knowing that you are in front of a huge musical product. Olivemoon live perfectly, like gazelle on the savannah in this fertile field that is now the scene in Barcelona. A good product, a distinctive personality, ability with digital tools, broadcasting guerrilla word of mouth, and desire to make music. To this we have to add the worship that they have a totem of a Catalan radio and, more recently, appearing as a soundtrack of a notice of carbonated water. The first items are good base. The second are those who can lead them to pace quickly.
Olivemoon only have edited a beautiful craftsman EP titled 'The Thickest Forest'. A dense, lush forest of eight songs. Eight tracks carved wood following a marvelous supporting base, and a prolific green leaves that become the best and full of sap ornaments. 'The Thickest Forest' is also the title of the first cut, a kind of instrumental introduction where we can feel the imprint of the multitude of instruments that we will find for the ride. She still grand pieces like 'A cliff' and 'As We Grow'. The latter a marvelous scent hit song. A beautiful guitar chords and the personal voice of Marc Navarro mark the trail.
Wild harmonies but finished feeling perfectionist. Engrandándose bars that seem to go to reach the hatch instrumental, thanks to the fabulous springboard for the string section. Pure wonder. Then we can find parts most affected and paused, as 'Washing Machine'. A real massage with eucalyptus scent that can burn away any winter. A piece that excited the first time to hear it. And the next thirty well. Emotion and fat wool sweaters that come across this 'The Thickest Forest'. Warm feeling that does not bother even summer and all the windows open house are wide. Aperturistas frameworks that we keep the time comes 'Feeling High'. Populated Western bearded golden spurs. A calm invitation to dance. Epic "boniverista" crescendo that makes his best weapon. The instrumental passage holding the rope between the introduction and the outbreak.
A summit to climb to enjoy this landscape full of green, yellow and brown. Well carved wooden instruments sound as good and as sharp. Olivemoon are very good news to tell every few days. Because once you hear 'The Thickest Forest' you can not go many days without returning to it. Craft, forest vitality restrained and hope.
