Album Description

"Another textured delight emerges from Adam Selzer's Type Foundry Studios in Portland…an imaginatively constructed set of mid-fi, mostly mid-paced songs delivered in Olin's breathy, lazy drawl which occasionally invites comparison to Joe Pernice (albeit through a cheap mic à la Sparklehorse)." - Comes With A Smile <P>With Yes Yes Okay Okay, Greg Olin guides a cadre of sympathetic musicians on a second outing to a distinctly natural, sweetly exhilarating place. Whereas 2003's Love Love Love found songs ricocheting off each other within the confines of an album - overflowing with texture, mood, lackadaisical melody, and the occasional outburst - Yes Yes Okay Okay dispenses with the restless energy, opting almost entirely for a palate of nylon string guitar, loping bass, crisp drumming, piano, trumpet, handclaps and finger snaps. Herein, Olin finds a perfect foundation for his tender, earnest, melodic vocals and just-shy-of-stream-of-consciousness lyrics. It's not surprising that he's been compared to Stephen Malkmus in dishevelment and melodic predisposition, but a more accurate touchstone might be Cass McCombs, if only for the sensitivity in his songwriting. Yes Yes Okay Okay is a wholly satisfying album that possesses the je ne sais quoi sure to stand out among the mounting pile.
