Ugly Is Beautiful, Oliver Tree's first album for a major label, finally came out on Atlantic on July 17, 2020, after two delays and seven years of EPs and an independent record. The Santa Cruz oddball had been signed on the strength of a viral song, and he arrived with a small army of producers, Marshmello, Whethan, Andrew Goldstein and Rogét Chahayed among them, all helping him mash up rock whine, rap bounce and pop sheen until the seams show on purpose.
"Let Me Down", "Alien Boy", "Hurt" and "Miracle Man" all went gold or platinum, with Tree yelping and moping over guitars that sound borrowed from a skate video. The album opened at number one on the Top Rock Albums chart, he promoted it with a Z2 Comics graphic novel, Oliver Tree vs. Little Ricky: Alien Boys, and a deluxe edition, Shorter, Thicker & Uglier, arrived in May 2021.
