T.G. Olson Releases New Solo Album The Boom and Bust

t.g. olson

It hasn’t quite been a full year since multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Tanner Olson of Across Tundras released his last solo full-length under the T.G. Olson banner. That outing, The Rough Embrace (review here; vinyl review pending), has continued to earn spins even as Olson followed it up with a companion shorter release, The Wandering Protagonist (review here). Prolific as ever, the singer-songwriter unveils today his latest offering, The Boom and Bust.

A folk singer at heart, Olson continues to refine his process melding simple and traditional structures with complexity either of layering or experimental elements. Like everything he does, The Boom and Bust has been released as a name-your-price download via the Across Tundras Bandcamp, and as word has been bandied around about new Across Tundras on the way as well, I can’t help but wonder if the two albums won’t make for some kind of complement, be it thematically, musically (as they kind of would be anyway, I’ll grant) or otherwise. We won’t know until that one shows up, but it’s all the more worth keeping an eye out.

The Boom and Bust will reportedly also be released on vinyl sometime down the line. For now, you’ll find the Bandcamp stream under the album art and info below:
