Geoffrey O'Connor


Geoffrey David O'Connor is an indie pop musician and producer based in Melbourne. He has released the solo albums, Vanity Is Forever and Fan Fiction, both through Chapter Music. O'Connor is also a member of indie pop group The Crayon Fields, on lead guitar and lead vocals. Before performing solo under his birth name he was known as Sly Hats, and released one album Liquorice Night.
O'Connor produced Vanity Is Forever, which Triple J's Zan Rowe described as "a distinct step away from the indie-pop of his band. The record is full of synthesisers, and modern soft rock sounds and is written from the perspective of a guy who has both a heavy heart and a high libido". At the time of release, Geoffrey toured the US on a sold-out support tour with Jens Lekman.
O'Connor's solo album Fan Fiction was released in August 2014 through Chapter Music. Pitchfork's Jake Cleland gave it a score of 7.4, describing it as an album in which "every dazzling melody is sandwiched together, maximalist and swollen in a dizzying spectacle".
