New Album · Out Now

Ola
Sweet.

An indie alt-rock four-piece from the velvet hours of the city — reverb-soaked guitars, broken-window choruses, and the kind of songs you play loud at 2 a.m.

The Band

Ola Sweet plays the kind of indie rock that sounds like the city at 4 a.m. — neon-stained, half-asleep, and honest in ways nobody asked for.

Formed in a Brooklyn basement in 2019 by Nora Vance (vocals, guitar) and Theo Park (bass), the band found its full shape when drummer Sami Otieno and guitarist Lucia del Mar joined a year later. What started as bedroom demos has turned into two LPs, a string of singles, and a touring schedule that keeps stretching.

Their sound borrows from the loud-quiet-loud bones of the '90s, the haze of dream pop, and the bruise of early Cure records — but it lands somewhere only Ola Sweet seems to know how to find.
