2009, Dovecote Records
Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Olly Oxen Free, Mason Proper’s second 2008 release after their similarly excellent digital EP Shorthand, could hardly fit more brilliance and understated creativity into its ten songs. Bandleader and wispy-voiced lyricist Jonathan Visger weaves us into entrancingly experimental post-pop music that sorta recalls indie greats The Dismemberment Plan, Menomena and Islands. Additional touches of horns on 'Downpour' or a child's voice on 'Point A to Point B' create a full-bodied experience, one that will envelop the listener and carry them into a new, off kilter universe. -absolutepunk,net
