Sydney, Australia's Oliver Tank released his newest EP, Dreams, last week and I find myself blown away. While the EP is composed as six single tracks, I feel as if the EP works best when listened to as a whole. He's found a way to harmoniously combine electronic sounds, vocals, and real instruments within his tracks. In a September interview, Tank describes his sound similarly, "essentially that is what my music is about, different sounds organized to tell a story."
One of the tracks off of his EP, "Last Night I Heard Everything in Slow Motion", is a great way to introduce the world to his music. You know how once in a great while you feel an immediate, crazy, inspiring, stomach-turning, and heart-wrenching connection with a song? And you know you'll carry it with you in your archive of must-have tunes for the duration of your life? Well, this one did it for me. The track is composed with a fantastic twist of electronic and instrumental music. The two genres dance slowly among one another throughout the duration of the track building up to an emotional finale of sidechained strings.

I foresee big things for Oliver Tank. He's managed to inspire with sound, creating a generic soundtrack for many experiences, big and small. Finding a way to relate your music to any situation, person, or experience is a talent. Oliver Tank has done it well with his latest EP.
