"
Steven R. Smith
is a wildly consistent and self-sufficient auteur making epic music far beyond his monk-like solo recording practices. On
Olive
, one gets more of Steven R. Smith's singular vision and musicianship, this time filtered through ensemble arrangement largely performed by others -- an approach he's explored in recent years. A micro-orchestra of horn and woodwind players was enlisted, as well as other collaborators including
Kate Wright
(
Movietone
,
1000 Dawns
) and
Yvonne Sone
. The stunning results call to mind

score, not only in terms of sonics or tone, but also in the use of space. Smith has explored many angles to soundtrack-like mood music, but there is a satisfying dark rock element to even his more refined chamber pieces. Smith's dusky post-punk signature, borrowed from Australian artists such as
Rowland S. Howard
and
Crime & the City Solution
, synthesizes with the mannered arrangements to push his familiar, evocative sound into new spaces."
