The Olms are a retro-leaning pop/rock duo of singer/songwriter Pete Yorn and musician, photographer, and artist J.D. King. The two met through King's girlfriend. When Yorn heard King's Here's J.D. King, he was so impressed that he invited him on tour. The two began working seriously on music together in 2011, writing songs and recording them at King's Bel Air, California home studio. Both Yorn and King wore many musical hats during the process, sharing guitar, drums, and keys duties while adding the occasional clarinet, Jew's harp, and concertina to the laid-back sound. The pair chose the name the Olms and finished up their self-titled album in 2012. It was released in 2013 by the newly relaunched Harvest Records. ~ Tim Sendra
