Summary

Why is Oliver Tree dressed like Shrek? Is it performance art or deeply earnest work? Are there any original ideas in the world? And what happens when you spend two years recording a record across seven continents and 80 countries ranging from Africa to China to Afghanistan. Oh and a year in Antarctica. We endeavour to explore all of what the heck Oliver Tree has been up to.


Plus the story behind his new album ‘Love You Madly, Hate You Badly,’ the pursuit of joy, falling off the internet, remixing in Iraq, redefining success, being elected a chief by the Maasai in Tanzania, where he wants his money to go when he dies and so much more.

Like about 36. This is bigger than television. This is like, they usually have a 3-4 camera setup. You guys have gone really big, you've gone global. We like a 360 approach to it, you know? Whose idea was this many cameras? I mean, I'm a director. I've never seen anything like this. Wait, so is it true that you got pulled over on your way here? Yeah, yeah. So we ran, well, we were running late, right? I was doing some stuff before this and, uh, got pulled over. It was rough. The guy was like, what are you guys doing? I was like, I got to go to. And the guy was fucking pissed. We basically, he ran two red lights. He said he was, he let us go this time. Okay. Because he liked the outfit. But it was definitely like one of those things where we were there waiting for, I would say, 10, 15 minutes. They had a second cop car come. He had to check with his sergeant, I believe it was. It's very scary to you pulled over. It is. I had two experiences where they pulled guns out on me. What? Yes. One time I was just driving through, I was going to go on a picnic, and they actually got out the top of the car and had the gun drawn at me. What were you doing? What were you doing? Nothing. I had a truck with hydraulics and had a bunch of graffiti on it. Oh. And I think perhaps maybe they thought I was like in a gang or something. Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty extreme.
