Schwervon: Hyper-confessional, intimate, fun, brash, loud, want to make you dance.

Major Matt Mason and Nan Turner started playing minimalist rock music together shortly after they began dating in 1999. A perfect platform from which to write about the strange and wonderful process of being in a relationship. Their most recent album ‘Low Blow’ is out now on Olive Juice records - the label Major Matt conceived and a gang of New york artists helped bring into reality:

“Olive Juice Music is a D.I.Y. label, studio, and mail-order distributor, based in New York City, interested in helping people who are in the developmental stages of trying to do something with their art connect with people who are in the developmental stages of appreciating it. OJM is not a traditional record label. For the most part it is a testament to what one guy, working out of his apartment, with a lot of help from his friends, can do.The artists associated with Olive Juice Music take an active part in how their art is produced, financed, and commodified. They in turn receive more of the direct profits gained from the distribution of that art, which is how it should be. The strength of OJM relies upon the active participation of its members to share resources and help promote a communal spirit among everyone involved as well as claiming responsibility for taking their art to wherever they would like it to go. Olive Juice Music is about independence and community.”
