The solo project of Belgian Alexander Devroe, Mr. Oliver is definitely competent of crafting passionate and irresistibly addictive pop-rock songs: One shining example is the captivating track Cartoon Dreams, a true embodiment of pop-rock beauty. It boasts a finely balanced vocal performance, a driving pace that propels the listener forward, and a super catchy melodic line that will directly seep into your brain. However, the true surprise lies in the unpredictable guitar crescendo that emerges in the final two minutes, evoking memories of the indie pop gods, The Field Mice, and their anthem Sensitive. Lyrically, this gem is about cruising through space with the woman you love, based on a dream Devroe had.
If you’re looking for an indie thrill this is the one!
