Oliver Dean

Admirers of a certain gloomy elegance will love this album. There is an incredible erotic tension, created by the steadiness the music radiates in even the most tensive moments, and Oliver Dean’s deep voice, which stays calm, almost cool, when he sings about painful matters.

It’s hard to put this elegant, bitter sweet music in words - maybe it is more helpful to remember the night club scenes from “Blue Velvet” or the mood of the Nouvelle Vague films. Oliver Dean is the reincarnation of the dandy, known from “Roxy Music” and “Bryan Ferry” - in a post-modern, broken form.
