Olicía: Genre boundaries have always been fluid for Olicía. Their music ranges from fragile folk moments to pulsating pop, from avant-garde soul to spoken word and jazz, whilst always retaining a gently futuristic feel due to its unique form of creation. They use two synchronized loop stations and the female voices at the center take turns leading the song. They layer, use vocal percussion, harmonize, or expand into vast choirs. The instrumentation ranges from piano, synths and looped vocal snippets to guitar and clarinet. Olicía seem to practically override the constraints of loop-based music and create very direct songs with efficiency and elegance. They manage without preproduced backing tracks and always leave room for improvisation and chance.
