Oliver The Penguin started as an unexpected collaboration between Top Line writer Rie Sinclair (Emmy-Nominated independent composer & Recording Artist) & Abandoned Pools Tommy Walter, one afternoon in June ‘07 during an attempt to create a mini theme-song for a TV show. Over think-tank walks down Melrose & conversations of relationships, the two conceptualized a side project, which morphed into something eerily prolific. The classic example of a chemical reaction by slamming particles of computer guy with sub-structure of starlet in small confined Hollywood space. Oliver began to morph into a wider concept, as collected samples of the two’s own personal childhood stories became more relevant to the character & music they were creating. Reminiscent of The Postal Service, Frou Frou, & The Bird And The Bee, Oliver The Penguin appeals to a wide range of listeners including an alternative young audience with their underground vibe, soothing melodic tones, & playfulness. Rie Sinclair twirls various TV & personal music projects, while continuing to release various solo projects. Her most recent release, "A Moment RieMixed", an EP of remixes off her Debut LP, "A Moment You Never Dreamed" featured a remix from the Artist herself & collaboration with another electronica side project, All The Savages (EP release date for Untitled Savages Project set for Summer 2011).
