about

Olinda return with sophomore single ‘Dreams in Transit’, a pop-soaked paean to missed opportunity and latent ambition. Written and demoed in the stifling heat of an Ontario summer night, guitarist Peter Burke describes the song as an attempt to “capture the feeling of gazing out of a car window in motion.”

Following up from debut singles ‘World Within/The Chalice’, this release is paired with B-side ‘Our Secret Garden’; a romantic and woozy document of a relationship as it cools to an ember. Both songs are more guitar leaning than the band’s previous release, however Olinda’s signature synth driven sound underpins them, with each track seeming destined for the indie disco.

A Juno 106 synth line gives the lead single its infectious pulse along with an ever-forward momentum reminiscent of a cut from YMO’s 'Naughty Boys'. At its surface however, it’s an indie pop heater. A summery palate cleanse to 'Landfill Sprechgesang™' that exudes the same sweetness, nostalgia and eagerness to be loved, heard in the likes of The Smiths ‘Ask’ or Silvertone era Stone Roses. So English are the influences here, that they may just enter the long canon of North American bands mistaken to be from the British Isles (allow it mate...)

According to lyricist and vocalist Josh Klein, ‘Dreams in Transit’ is about "transition and coming to terms with the dreams that you had when you were younger. It’s about being at a point in your life, seeing that opportunities have gone and past and are no longer there, and instead of giving up on your dreams and quitting, it’s about reorienting yourself, reassessing things. Changing your aspirations." Most days he'd probably just tell you it's about that Alphonso Davies solo goal against Panama: ‘right down the line.’
Keep it moving....
