Interpolating Edu Lobo’s ‘O Açoite Bateu’, Charlotte puts her own unique spin on the bossa nova song – a slice of acoustic guitar, strings and a harmonising chorus in Portuguese that explodes into a percussive frenzy in its final minute – a direct homage to Brazil and her lineage. Themes of strength and resilience capture the essence of ‘Filha Do Sol’, a single glittered with empowering references to the future. She says, “Filha Do Sol is the most special song to me as it is a song about my heritage dedicated to my family in Brazil. It’s a song about myself, having my Norwegian mother’s hair, and my father’s skin. It’s a song about the history of slavery and it’s about resilience and empowerment to all people of color as a reminder that we are strong and will always rise again”.

Sometimes even the longest journey ends close to where you started. Throughout the teens, Oneida pushed further and further into abstract, atmospheric sounds, recording long haunting compositions that couldn’t have been more different than the pulsing, hammering anthems of their past. But now they return with Success, their most guitar-centric, rock album in decades. It kicks off with “Beat Me to the Punch,” a song that is minimal like the best Ramones songs are minimal, pared back to beat and melody and a limited number of guitar chords. It’s an uncomplicated pleasure from the get-go, and if it’s ripped in half later by a corrosive guitar solo, well, what did you expect? This is Oneida.
