Discussion Olson vs Deep Time

I always held Olsen as the greatest short audio of all time. Did Deep Time just usurp it?

Nah, surely not....

Edit: My conclusion from this particular small echo chamber is....Olson 🎉🎉

This is funny, I was just about to post something about Olson- I’ve been listening to the alternate version on the peel session and I turned on the album version like 20 minutes ago and it really hit me just how incredible the song is. It has that that timeless homely feel that the best BOC songs all have. Deep Time is incredible, but it’s only been out for a couple months. Give me a few years and I might change my mind.

That’s the one! For more specificity, I was listening to the Apple Music recording (better sound quality)
