Chris Olson - Reviews
"One thing that sets Chris apart is his ability to craft songs that stick with you long after they’ve ended. His catchy musical hooks, introspective lyrics, and inventive song structures all come together to create a sound that is uniquely his own. His latest release, “Dirty Summer,” is no exception."

"Right from the start, there’s no doubting that “Dirty Summer” has good intentions — it’s clever, outspoken, and at times very catchy. Moreover, it registers as a record with real significance because of its visceral lyrical moments. Chris Olson is a perfectly good songwriter, with a keen ear for memorable hooks, insightful lyrics, and satisfying song structure, all of which leave a lasting impression on this record."

"Fans of Britpop, Indie Rock and Soft Rock rejoice, Chris Olson's latest release "Dirty Summer (Remastered)" is the perfect blend of classic sound with a fresh twist. This first single from his upcoming album, "Building Stampedes", is a reflection on the ups and downs of teenage life, with a road trip vibe that transports listeners back to those nostalgic days."

"This exquisite tune actually features a traditional folk melody that is seamlessly blended with a dash of alternative country, with hints of rock escaping through as the track gains pace. Detail-oriented and exuding a fully-realized and graciously nurtured arrangement that recalls the sound of the great singer/songwriter hits of the 1970s, this is an easy recommendation for any and all folk, country and rock fans - particularly those who appreciate punctilious song crafts as the one displayed here."

"His own sound is a culmination of visionary, forward-thinking, glistening, and somewhat mesmerizing soundscapes backed by tenderness and a soulful vibe to appeal to a wider fan base. His 2009 "For Emma" EP introduced to the music world an artist with a good ear for sound design and a knack for hit melodies!"
