Oliver Riot – a pop duo comprised of two gorgeous men who happen to be identical twins, Benjamin and Alexander Moore – have released their brand new song, “ Nervous ,” via AWAL. Currently, Oliver Riot has two EP’s under their belt, which racked up 100+ million streams. Now the boys are back for more. The song was produced by Eric Palmquist (Bad Suns, R.Lum.R, Thrice, Half Alive) featuring strings by Thomas Lea (Rhye, Mary J Blige, Yuna).
Merging alternative experimentation, jazz expressionism, confessional lyrics, and left-of-center songwriting, Oliver Riot deliver a sonic duality as dynamic as their brotherly bond. Long before independently generating over 100 million-plus streams and attracting acclaim from OnesToWatch, BBC Radio 1, and outspoken fans such as Chloe Grace Moretz, Sophia Bush, and more, the Moores endured a novel-worthy trip. It took them from their native New Mexico through homelessness and hardship in Los Angeles, where they squatted illegally in the back of an old Korean church. Oliver Riot recorded their 2015 EP, Hallucinate, and 2017 EP, Neurosis, in the back of the very church where they squatted. The result struck a chord as their tracks racked up millions of streams, landing TV syncs across networks such as CBS, E! Network, and more. Eventually, the duo managed to move into a spot in South Central. Once again sharing a room in their new abode, Oliver Riot architect their next chapter heralded by the 2019 single “Nervous.” On the track, minor jazz guitar chords ring out between somber piano and lush strings as the lyrics explore mental struggles they both face on a daily basis with Pure O OCD. In the end, these twins write a mythology of their own on more music to come.
