His descent into darkness and depression becomes apparent when listening to his 1996 lo-fi album, ๐‘ป๐’†๐’ ๐‘บ๐’–๐’Š๐’„๐’Š๐’…๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ป๐’–๐’๐’†๐’” Using his then girlfriendโ€™s modified answering machine as a recording device, writing and recording on the spot, he cut all songs in a manic 24 hours โ€” and with good reason. Being delusional, he began complaining about a troll living behind the soundhole of his acoustic guitar and ruining his performance by rambling on in disagreement over his songwriting abilities. After a failed suicide attempt in the aftermath of the recording, Oliver Jordan went to a mental institution where he reportedly died in a freak accident on December 31, 1996, when he choked on false teeth that a fellow patient had hidden in his banana pudding. ยฉ โ„— 1996 Low-Fi Records/Holyfield ยฉ
