Here's what your mom said:
“Teeter-tottering between the sweeping cinematics of Coldplay and the sing-songy swagger of the Walkmen, Pax Futura is a thoroughly enjoyable (if not wholly unique) joyride of an album.”
— Harp, September/October 2007
“A constantly shifting backdrop of seamlessly drifting psych-pop, glam, and white boy soul.”
— Under the Radar, Summer 2007
“A danceable clash of dreamy vocals and jarring chords, of collective hope and universal despair.”
— NPR.org, November 2, 2007
“Oliver Future’s Pax Futura is – like Radiohead’s The Bends or Weezer’s Pinkerton – both a mission statement of creativity and a shout-out loud masterpiece, the kind of record that you turn up in order to both sing-and-think along.”
— Esquire.com, July 24, 2007
“Musically, Oliver Future range from the hazy indie-rock wash of “Stranger Than The Stranger,” which is coated in Josh Lit’s keyboards, to the new-wave swirl of “Happiness Machine” and the pastoral spaciness of “Whispering Wintry Wind… these guys are brimming with pop potential.”
— LA Weekly (Los Angeles, CA), September 28, 2007
“An ambitious and intelligent album, blowing away the three-minute pop formula by fusing songs, turning up the sonic texture and filling every inch of the album with a hook (think The Flaming Lips and Wilco).”
— Performer Magazine (West Coast), August 2007
“Ranges from delicate folk to chunky, psychedelic riff-rock to crooning pop, sometimes within the same song.”
— Boston Globe (Boston, MA), September 10, 2007
“Each tune is peppered with memorable melodies, interesting percussion and the same kind of kooky bravado that informed the Flaming Lips’ ‘Clouds Taste Metallic.’”
— Lawrence Journal World (Lawrence, KS), August 22, 2007

Bio Was too long. So we've shrunk it in the dryer. 5 boys, 2 guitars, bass, keyboards and drums. Just moved to LA, we like long walks on the beach, Tom Waits and Axl Rose. Named after a car accident between Olivia Newton John, and the Future prime minister of Rangoon (Crab Rangoon), Oliver Future have been playing kick ass shows in LA, NYC and most places in between. We are originally from Austin, and get back there often, but we left after gambling most of our estates on a heated game of Jenga. We mostly like to play in our eastern neighborhoods of LA, cuz gas is expensive and we get scared when we're too far away from our house in LA. but sometimes play various parts each in Arthur Miller plays that we perform in our livingroom. We are looking for love... and rockets or a label but I know that's alot to ask for, so we'll just keep on myspace cuz it is far better than actually leaving the house! Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy the tunes... they are free!
So I was just browsing in the music section of an electronics store killing time, and your album cover caught my eye. I was so intrigued, and the artwork was just so interesting and happy that I bought your CD, and I had not even heard of you guys until that moment! And I'm glad I did buy it, because it is creative and intriguing, and it has made my week!! Now if I could just find more of your albums, I'd be set....
umm....really??? no mas oliver future. please say you guys are gonna be one of those bands that has reunion tours like the pixies or guided by voices. otherwise i might have to shed some tears. xo
