The Olive Shoots have a marvellous sound on this new EP available from
Dufflecoat Records, that sound is big with pop hooks and synths in abundance. "Heaven is on the fire" swirls with electric pop noise, a synergy of indie pop, retro synths and big 80s electric pop. A mix that wins in so many ways on this evidence. "Gynaecology" shimmers with a potent electric buzz over which vocals swish and float interspersed with atmospheric pop. It reminds me a bit of Curve in some ways.
"Psyche" is more overtly retro, at times sounding like a lost 80s pop track. Thats a good thing by the way. Finally the title track takes us down a more esoteric pop road, infinite synths taking us into the nexus of indie pop and video game interlude music.
A truly wonderful EP, one of the best of the year. Inventive, electric and above all a gorgeous pop adventure.
