new fool 20©02 the first record. i started making this record on my dad's computer, just for the hell of it, but things escelated and i ended up turning my bedroom into a studio, filled it with old and scruffy instrument and started experimenting. it's a bittersweet album about being pulled down, left on the outside and feeling like a fool but at the same time enjoying it. it's about love and hate, the cool and the warm and the sweet and the sour sides of a young man's life. |

| reviews |
| "norway's
lo-fi king." - faro journalen "personal, funny and charming." -nettavisen "the self ironic lyrics reveals a young man with thougts of the lighter absurd kind." -vg "olsen is without a doubt a promising and interesting talent." -panorama "the quirky west-coaster does the most himself and the result is a nice dose of every day realism" -groove |
