Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Chart-topping, genre-bending artist Oliver Tree has shared “Placeholder,” produced by Oliver, Travis Barker, and Nick Long, available now via Atlantic Records at all DSPs and streaming services.
“This song is about a placeholder at a dinner I went to a few months back,” says Oliver. “The person who was supposed to be sitting next to me didn’t show up and it was the most beautiful, elegant plate and utensils set up that went completely unused. Afterwards I drove directly to the studio and wrote a song about it.”
“Placeholder” – which Oliver recently heralded across his hugely popular social media platforms – marks the latest single from Cowboy Tears (Deluxe), an expanded release of his acclaimed sophomore LP set to arrive everywhere this summer. The new edition was first unveiled this spring with “I Hate You,” produced by Oliver Tree with longtime collaborators Whethan and Casey Mattson, available for streaming and download now.
Oliver will celebrate the deluxe release with a much anticipated new leg of his blockbuster Cowboy Tears North American headline tour. Oliver’s most ambitious live run to date, Cowboy Tears – One Last Ride gets underway August 4 at San Diego, CA’s Petco Park with his very own one-day event, “Oliver Tree Presents: Fire Festival,” featuring an all-star lineup of special guests including Smash Mouth, Sueco, JAWNY, Huddy, and Little Ricky ZR3.
