Album Review: O∆ by London O’Connor


originally published on February 3, 2018
His debut album O∆, pronounced circle triangle, was released in 2017 having a track list of eleven songs.
OATMEAL, being the opening track to the album, tells the story of lazy saturday mornings where most people’s dreams live. O’Connor remarks on how many of us are not brave enough to go after those dreams. The first verse, even though in a major key, has a lower tone, but once the chorus comes in the feel of the song lightens. Everytime a verse hits, the tone darkens and broods.
STEAL, delving deeper into the album also dives deeper into O’Connor’s life as a younger man going around looking for stuff to steal. The high range of the chorus perfectly juxtaposes the low monotone versus. This blending of opposites presents a really interesting auditory experience to listen to.
GUTS is very similar to STEAL in the way that it’s another song that presents tonal opposites very well. From again, the versus to the chorus. GUTS talks about that one annoying kid on your block that you hate.

When confronted with the choice of specializing or to continue what I’ve been doing 2 . I chose to continue what I’ve been doing 3 . Being a generalist allows you to have a more than basic understanding of each aspect of a project, allowing you to make smarter, more informed decisions about the project as a whole. I started my freelance career during middle school after a couple of my friends and I wante...
