New album: Olivia’s World || Greedy & Gorgeous

Olivia’s World is worth exploring

Based in Sydney, formed during a stint in Vancouver, and shaped by a love of U.K. underground pop and the U.S. riot grrrl movement, Olivia’s World is firmly of this planet—yet hard to pin down. Led by Alice Rezende, the band takes a freewheeling approach on their debut full-length, Greedy & Gorgeous, blending twee sensibilities with a whole lot of alt-pop and noise-pop energy.

It’s fuzzy indie pop with bite, veering from the dissonant chaos of Baby Bathwater to the undeniable radio-friendliness of Healthy & Wealthy, a track that could have slotted neatly into the ‘90s alt-rock scene. Then there’s Sourgum, which channels a modern indie punk spirit. Slacker vibes and a sense of urgency somehow coexist in Olivia’s World, making this a surprisingly cool and unpredictable listen.

Greedy & Gorgeous is out now on Little Lunch Records and Lost Sound Tapes.
