If that's not an official BOC remake of Olson then someone is gonna have a lawsuit on their hands

ha yeah, Olson as fuck

Sounds like Olson covered by 0PN on his Juno 60, vintage but cleaner recording.

Reminds me a lot of the interpolation bullshit that is rampant with indie rock bands that decline licensing. They get other musicians to barely tweak it to make it a "legal" alternative in the same vein

yeah, either monsanto paid the brothers so they could recreate/license Olson or someone needs to alert the compound STAT! Sound the warbly synth alarm!!!!

Seems pretty blatant. I don't remember the exact source but there was a commercial a while back that was a pretty shameless nic of a Bibio's "Lovers Carvings"

there was an ad that had the actual lovers carvings

yeah this one: 

again, I forget the ripoff but there was a commercial with something incredibly similar

Wow, the bit at :29 was very Olson-like, but the ending piano melody is blatant plagiarism...

The irony of a feel good commercial about pollination from Monsanto.

Yeah, that's definitely a ripoff of Olsen, either the brothers are supporting "Tomorrow's Harvest" or they've got a potential lawsuit on their hands...

But Bibio IS that. 

I wonder if the band has any say in this more so if it’s a very close soundalike

This advert from the early 00s always sounded spookily similar to Yulquen - did you guys have a hand on it, or is it someone in the advertising agency that's a fan !

 

 

yeah strange that one, i would def stop what i was doing if i caught it on tv, but its a bit fishy, another one for John Lewis Partnership around the same time (only Xmas tho) was another close copy, more 'tradDM'.

 

lol how the fuck is that yulquen, it's literally the sound it makes when two guys snowboard in the sand

lol 

Might wanna check your speakers/headphones (and note who actually replied to the message)
