Olivia Jean new album “Night Owl” is exactly what it sounds like, wee-hour workings of an artist engrossed in a project, pushing against omnipresent forces of fear and judgment to do exactly what she’s always wanted to do and be exactly what she’s known she is. It’s candy-coated and also bittersweet, fully aware and also full-hearted. The album mines the shared spaces between bubblegum, beach pop undercurrents and fuzzed out garage a la B-52s and Dick Dale, lyrically diving headfirst into the frustrations of perfectionism, mental barriers, obsession and modern heartache. Now available on CD, LP, Digital and Streaming at the Olivia Jean Official Third Man Record Store. Follow Olivia Jean on tour this September with The Raconteurs. ★
