about

Olinda are back with their latest single ‘Reverie’, another masterclass in indie pop in 2023. Like a lost cut from an old FIFA soundtrack that never was; springy guitars and synthesized nods to Psychedelic Furs give way to a chorus straight from the Gallagher brother’s song sheet. As with last single ‘Dreams in Transit’, its 4 minute run time eludes the listener and does nothing to diminish from its pure, pop credentials. The vocals employ a higher register than previous singles, with frontman Josh Klein sounding at his most angelic when in fact ‘every day feels like hell.’ Lyrically we encounter a sense of camaraderie in mutual despair, the yearning for brighter days, the lost art of…I don’t know…having a bloody laugh? Musically ‘Reverie’ features some of Peter Burke’s finest guitar playing yet. Sleek and measured trills lead to a solo that could make John Squire just stick to the paintbrush for good. And while our singer’s malaise is at the forefront, a bopping synth line remains all the more apparent and infectious.

Like its lead single, B-side ‘Worlds Away’ has its own touches of Oasis about it. A moodier number than its counterpart, the simmering electronics build conversely to a climax that is nothing short of rhapsodic. Maybe this summer completely passed you by. Maybe the year hasn’t panned out how you wanted it to. This release is for you and your better days to come. ‘One step forward, two steps back.’ Sounds like we’re dancing still.
