"We've reviewed one of this operatic Australian's singles before, but he just completed the sequence of four, so what the hell, here's the whole so-called Rock And Roll Series. Tin Power, the first, combines Mann's baritone with an acoustic guitar in a song with a sense of longing as deep as the ocean. The flip replaces the vocals with harmonica from deep space. A Country Wedding mixes vocals, harmonica and guitar together, along with accordion maybe, for something that's like a lost Tim Hardin/Robbie Basho hybrid. The flip is similarly built but reversed, and recalls - of all things - a few of Jeff Buckley's unfinished tracks. Deepest Temple starts with acoustic guitar again, but there's a percussion thing I can't identify and some woodwinds. Quietly woodsy. The flip has the vocals this time, and not just Mann's, but a female voice as well. The effect is similar to some of those Mezzacane/Bloom collaborations, but only if Kath had a vocal attack more similar to Jane Birkin's. Puff Puff is a return to solo form. A little Basho on the first side, and that great strange harmonica on the flip. Quite a hep run of singles."

about
Oliver Mann Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne bass-baritone Oliver Mann’s output is defined by its adherence to the classical canon as much as its re-imagining.
His wanderings into arcane folk and experimental song-writing craft – which have brought about two acclaimed full-length albums - are cues to his artistry as much as his growing classical repertoire.
