The Olms

The Olms: A Retro Take On Pete Yorn’s Infectious Melodies

August 8, 2013 - Pete Yorn has long had an easy way with hooky rock songs. He also likes to work with others, most recently with actress Scarlet Johansson.

His latest collaboration is with LA musician JD King. Yorn immediately connected with King’s love for 60’s music and culture. For fun they started recording together. They named their project The Olms for a small cave-dwelling amphibian that adapts itself to living in complete darkness and didn’t expect their music to see the light of day. Today we hear a live set that shows off the band’s retro-leanings as well as their enthusiasm for this collaboration.
