OLIVER TANK ANNOUNCES SPECIAL GUESTS FOR NATIONAL TOUR

Following the triumphant release of his debut album OT which features standout singles Charlene and Swerve, Sydney-based producer Oliver Tank is set to embark this week on his first national headline tour since 2014. Known for mastering the art of heartfelt, vivid soundscapes with an electronic bent, Oliver Tank today announces tour supports for his upcoming shows, kicking off in Newcastle this Thursday.

Joined on tour by rising star BATTS, the project of Melbourne based singer-songwriter and space enthusiast Tanya Batt has gained radio support from BBC Radio 1 and KCRW. Oisima will appear in his hometown of Adelaide, armed with delicate dancing melodies and exotic imaginings whilst Sydney artist/producer Tashka will bring her sophisticated slice of pop to a selection of shows. Oliver will be joined by Sydney producer, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist Giverny in Wollongong with Perth supports to be revealed shortly.

Recorded at Sing Sing studios in Melbourne, OT was co-produced with Jono Steer (Hiatus Kaiyote, Ali Barter) and marks a timeless talent whose creations continue to be both parts relevant and revolutionary.

Now with seven million cumulative streams under his belt, Tank first burst onto the scene in 2011 with his textual glitch pop debut EP Dreams, which he followed up with stunning sophomore EP, Slow Motion Music in late 2013, featuring collaborations with Ta-Ku, Hayden Calnin, as well as long-time friend and collaborator Fawn Myers.

With rave reviews worldwide for both EP’s, Tank’s rise was kicked off by winning FBi's Northern Lights competition, inclusion in triple j's “Next Crop” and nomination for FBi SMAC Award in the “Next Big Thing” category.

The forthcoming tour dates follow on from Tank’s sold out intimate anniversary celebration of critically acclaimed EP Dreams in late 2016. He has also supported music luminaries Active Child, Youth Lagoon, Bonobo, Lana Del Rey, James Blake and Lorde as well as headline national tours and sets at The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City and Falls Festival.
