OLAN's 2024 LP Floating Worlds highlighted her most reflective and vulnerable work. Portraying a time of solitude and emotional reckoning, the 11-track album moves through a dynamic range of styles tied to the Philadelphia artist's pursuit of rest and transformative enlightenment.

Her debut album Contra, released on Anjunadeep, has earned over 2 million streams, while Floating Worlds, released through .WAVCAVE, has gathered 250k streams and earned support on Lane 8's seasonal mixtape and Tokimonsta's 2026 KCRW residency. Over a decade of work has launched OLAN into support tours with Ben Böhmer, ODESZA, Josh Conway, Phantoms, and Gilligan Moss, as well as international stages from Red Rocks to Printworks, and festival slots at Electric Forest, Ultra, and Beyond Wonderland.

A standout live performer, OLAN delivers haunting beats and psychedelic melodies designed to draw audiences into her own introspective state. Every show is an anthemic extension of her studio recordings. The newest iteration brings Santiago Luna on drums, Carter Woodson on guitar, and Anthony Wynkoop on synths, offering a broader look into what brings her songs to life.

Her most recent releases include a series of club tracks on the sublabel and party series JOINTFUNCTION, and the Nimbus Clouds EP on Seb Wildblood's imprint allmythoughts, where she explored full-band arrangements and pushed further into psychedelic territory.

With Density, OLAN sought a more liberated approach to what was otherwise transforming into a detached process. Returning to electronic production with a looser hand, the EP is built on live and field recordings captured in Philadelphia, groove-driven and unhurried, featuring live bandmates Scartoon (Anthony Wynkoop) and Carter Woodson on the B-side single "Wander."

 

"What started as an exercise with samples quickly became layered with experiences I shared with my friends while bringing this project to life. The more I let go, the more aligned I felt with the music. The goal was to make tracks that nurture the listener the way time in nature does: intentional and patient while still applying the pressure that makes you resilient."

Density also marks a parallel time where OLAN distills an obsession with high fantasy and Magic: The Gathering into its most essential form, live and field recordings shaped into groove-driven, unhurried pieces that feel as expansive as the worlds that inspired them. Now based in Philadelphia, she remains focused on creating electronic music and live experiences that prioritize human connection in the way that inspired her origin.

With a catalogue celebrated by DMY, DJ Mag, Acid Stag, and Forbes, OLAN's music continues to resonate with a growing audience and perspective.
