For many bands, five years seems like an eternity. Within a five-year timespan, a band can theoretically formulate material, create a demo, sign to an indie label, release an album, tour the nation, sign to a major label, release another album, wait for it to flop and have their entire career unravel right before their very own eyes. Hey, it´s even been done in four before. But for Sean O´Donnell of San Diego, Calif.-based Reeve Oliver, it took five years to barely get his project off the ground and create a properly-released album. And its not because Sean, a prolific songwriter who had established himself through previous efforts, was resting on his laurels.

It is, however, due to his careful and considerate planning, meticulous ear for crafting the superb pop rock hit and skills as an engineer and producer, that his five years has been time considerably well spent. And if slow and steady wins the race, you might as well finger Sean and his band Reeve Oliver as the ultimate victors.
