Full Circle is the only studio album of Los Angeles-based electronic duo Oliver.[1] It was released on August 25, 2017 by Interscope Records.[2][3][4] After its release, Vaughn Oliver announced that no plans have been set for the duo's future, and stated that though he and Goldstein are on good terms, they haven't worked on music for over a year since then.[5]
Background
[edit]Billboard described the opener as "a '70s sci-fi movie with a cinematic, moody intro called 'Portrait' that melts into the sleek synth-porn of 'Ottomatic'."[1] The album features collaborations with De La Soul, Chromeo, Sam Sparro, MNDR, Elohim, Yelle, Leon Else and Scott Mellis.[6] Oligee Goldstein from Oliver,[7] said:
It's not really an album era anymore, but we love albums. We wanted to create a piece of work that had an arc to it, that shows a lot of different approaches stylistically. When you have a three- or four-song EP, you can't really showcase everything that you want to say. With a full-length, we could really spread it out and just show all the different ideas and different sides of us.
Singles
[edit]"Heart Attack" and "Chemicals" were released as the first and second singles respectively.[8][9]
