Our Worth A Listen Track This Week Comes From Sundara Karma
The Reading based quartet consisting of Oscar Lulu, Haydn Evans, Dom Cordell and Ally Baty have released their new single ‘Olympia’ from their upcoming debut album ‘Youth is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect’ which is due out January 2017. From the very first note ‘Olympia’ makes you realise you’re listening to something special. Sundara Karma are coming into their own and putting their stamp on the indie music scene. These guys are the band you tell your friends “are going to be huge”. You can feel it through every fibre of your being with its melancholic-drenched melody, wrapped in anthemic adrenaline. It grasps your very soul and summons your inner youth to rise up and bellow out the relatable lyric and ear worm melody. Lulu’s vocals catch you off-guard, the power he has in those vocals while being able to maintain a velvety smooth texture is captivating, like a wizard he pulls you into every word, capturing every emotion every heartache and joy-filled memory you have felt and he does this with just his vocals alone. Your heart skips a beat in time with the song, as the guitar drives the track with an almost constant tantalising and uplifting riff. The elastic nimble bass teamed with the steady beat keeps a constant bouncy foundation acting as a boundary containing this passionate track. Before you realise it Sundara Karma have won you over with their carefully crafted musicianship. ‘Olympia’ is so thrilling, so painstaking in its execution and soul touching with a melody that is honey to the ears, it sounds like the future of new indie music being unmasked in all its glory.
