Breaking it down to the basics of their signature sound: take the highlight of every Sundara song; ethereal vocals, heartfelt instrumental, somewhat profound lyrics and breezy character.
Not exactly their most experimental work, but recapturing the sunny vibes that the four seem to radiate is the new track ‘Olympia’. Proving, once again, that at the core of the psychedelic individualism of sunny k’s character; is a sound that is made to be played live.
Fit to fuel entire crowds with this mood boosting track. The raw vocals alone are enough to raise goosebumps, teamed with such a full-bodied instrumental; the boys have tapped into something special.
Opening ‘Olympia’ with a spark; subtly rousing baselines beneath an infectious lead riff, endorsed by the underemphasised echoing guitar chords. The song ignites with striking lyrics fed by an equally deep-seated and polished instrumental.
The stripped back vocals of frontman; Oscar Lulu strike with raw emotion and the hint of soft bass notes. A toned down drumbeat reignites the flame and leads into a blazing inferno of high-octane drumming and passionately driven guitar and bass.
Powerful vocals and an equally dynamic instrumental; this song emanates the passion and quirky charisma that distinguish Sundara Karma.
