Chart-topping, genre-bending artist Oliver Tree has unveiled a new song entitled “Freaks & Geeks.” Listen to the track and watch the accompanying video now below.
The track hinges on sparse acoustic guitar punctuated by warm lo-fi production from Oliver Tree, Whethan, and Casey Mattson. Right out of the gate, he declares, “I’m a weirdo, I’m a freak, no matter who I try to be…I change my life. I change my ways. I always wanted better days.” His vulnerable vocals resound on the chantable refrain as he ultimately serves up an empowering anthem for outcasts everywhere.
As Oliver traverses through neighborhoods adorned in an emo cowboy outfit and accompanied by a furry friend, he gives new meaning to being an outlaw in his “Freaks & Geeks” music video – a western ode to misfit-ism.
“Freaks & Geeks” arrives on the heels of his latest single “Cowboys Don’t Cry.” So far, the music video has racked up over 12 million YouTube views, while song has garnered 10 million streams and counting. He also appeared on Apple Music 1’s ALT CTRL radio where he discussed the single and what’s in store for 2022.
The singles pave the way for the arrival of his recently announced new album, Cowboy Tears (Atlantic Records), out on February 18th (Atlantic Records). It’s available for pre-order and pre-save HERE.
The Cowboy Tears tour kicks off February 19, 2022, at Los Angeles, CA’s legendary venue, The Shrine Expo Hall, and continues through late March with support from RIAA certified singer/producer and viral phenomenon Sueco as well as 18-year-old Canadian DIY artist 347aidan. Oliver will also light up the stage at Ultra Music Festival, Hangout Fest, Boston Calling, and more in 2022. For all touring details, visit www.olivertreemusic.com.
