The Olms perform live in The Current studios
by Mary Lucia and The Olms
September 30, 2013
Pete Yorn, a successful solitary songwriter and musician, was looking for a different experience for his next record. When longtime friend and experience engineer J.D. King began playing guitar more, Yorn saw the jigsaw pieces falling into place.
J.D. and Pete — who were introduced to each other by mutual friend Linda Ramone, the late Johnny Ramone's widow — would conveniently write and record demos in King's home studio, making it easy to crank out 16 songs, 10 of which made it onto the debut self-titled album.
Listen to the whole session to hear The Olms perform a stripped-down set and to listen to their chat with host Mary Lucia about Andre Agassiz, which albums they recommend for songwriting inspiration and about performing for an audience playing hooky from work.
