» The Top 30 Albums of 2010 - Fashionably, fabulously late, our favorite music (and believe me, there was a LOT) of 2010, the year that some have called the best year for music ever. And only some of those fools work here. Plenty of usual suspects, lots of ties and a few surprises that I won't spoil, including our unexpected #1.[12.24.2010 by The LAS Staff]

The Olive GroupBlue
Post Parlo Records
?
October 1, 2004
Music made for an independent rock elevator. When you get off the elevator, and have ignored the hidden disappointment in some of the lyrics as I do in elevators, you're warmed enough to weather the not so subtle sadness of some of their contemporaries.
Jazz and pop swirled together in an indie rock cone pretty aptly describes The Olive Group. They stand alone because of a lack of heavy distortion. This also keeps them sounding smooth as an elevator ride or ice cream. If they added in distortion they would sound a little like Superdrag and a lot like The Merbabies.
Blue is, as I understand it, one of two shorter releases before a full length album. That is only some of what the band is planning to do in the next while including a compilation and a split 7" with Those Peabodys, hopefully they'll have time to do a bit of touring as well.
