I found Ocie Elliot through my habit of searching for cover versions of songs that have fewer than 10k views. That led me to their cover of Bleecker Street which led me to this. They've done a bunch of these "songs recorded live, in one take, in the car" and I love most of them.

Well, you just sent me down a rabbit hole full of incredibly intimate feeling acoustic duets being sung absolutely beautifully in a car. Thanks! It was a genuinely lovely and thoroughly enjoyable experience, and their music reminded me very much of the late Elliot Smith, who I adore (which I assume is where the second part of their band name comes from?). Also cool to see some Canadian musicians from Victoria posted on here. :)
edit: Yup... the Elliot in their name is indeed in reference to Elliot Smith, nice!
How did you come up with the name ‘Ocie Elliott?’
Jon: Sierra is really into the 1920’s and so when we first started dating, I was searching online and found a 1920’s name generator, plugged in my name, and it spat out ‘Ocie Cleve.’ We both dug the name, and so my nickname became ‘Ocie.’ Figured it was a good start for a band name and so we eventually added ‘Elliott’ to the mix because we both love Elliott Smith and the two names complimented each other.
They're lovely, and they seem to really enjoy it too which helps. A couple of their songs appear on Wave of Good Noise, which has a bunch of similar indie-folk sort of acoustic songs....

I think I like these because they have minimal production and editing, and the simplicity feels more intense and honest.
