Additional information
While Gary Olson's self-titled collection of elegantly arranged indie pop songs is technically his first solo album, it wouldn't be quite right to call it a debut. Since 1995, Olson has been releasing fantastic albums with the Ladybug Transistor, an Elephant 6-affiliated band who looked to chamber pop influences as much as '60s jangle folk and psych. As new waves of independent bands emerged, Olson stayed active as both a producer and a frequent collaborator with the groups he recorded. The decision to strike out solo after 25 years of making music might seem odd at first, but with these 11 songs, Olson refines the lush indie sound he's been perfecting his entire career with a set of introspective and dreamy moods. Unlike the collaborative nature of Ladybug Transistor, Olson sounds like the sole narrator of these songs. As the album begins, the mild and wistful tune "The Navy Boats" sets the tone, with gentle chord progressions and intricate string arrangements placing the song somewhere between the Blue Nile and early Belle and Sebastian. Olson's soft-spoken vocals and brief trumpet solo add to this distinction as the lyrics drift through muted scenes from the lives of various characters. The mood stays fairly consistent throughout the album, with multiple highlight tracks like "Some Advice" and "Giovanna Please" fitting into the same pleasantly mellow mood. When Olson occasionally picks up the pace on tracks like the upbeat "Afternoon Into Evening," he maintains the same friendly introspection as on the more demure songs. Themes of travel, dreaming, and memory come up repeatedly, placing Olson in the role of the solitary observer, wandering alone through various unfamiliar environments both emotional and geographic. Like much of his output, the production and arrangement quietly give these songs extra dimension and drive home the sentiments he's trying to communicate. More than just another strong album from an established indie vet, Olson's solo debut feels like an exciting chapter added to what he's already shown us. ~ Fred Thomas

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
