Sea Oleena: "Island Cottage"

10:10 p.m. · September 3, 2010 · by Chris Bosman

I'm not gonna lie, Oleena is a pretty last name, the kind entirely appropriate for the kind of gentle, beautiful music Charlotte Oleena makes under her music-making, name-sharing moniker Sea Oleena. "Island Cottage," from her Bandcamp-released self-titled album, sails a simple, circuitous guitar figure through the genteel waters of Charlotte's voice, simple handclaps, ringing piano notes and a haze of synth strings to meditative effect. An incredibly gorgeous song from this Montreal-based artist. Download the song here. [Pitchfork]
