Following on from his previous release ‘Silk Dress’, ‘Neverland’ finds success in the same vein of cathartic, pulsing rhythms that reside in the same corner as the likes of Neck Deep and Story So Far.
Worlds away from the Mumford and Sons acoustic nature of 2021’s ‘Boots’, this latest foray sees Twohill’s sound take a U-turn into a more percussion-heavy soundscape drenched in pop-punk intonations. Featuring an amalgamation of ‘90s infused basslines, and insistent drums, the painted narrative of marginalisation and segregation is only accentuated by Twohill’s pleading vocal performance.
“The song is for all those marginalised people out there, that don't quite fit in and get hassled in their day to day lives,” says Ollie, drawing on personal experiences and creating a visualisation through his lyricism we are transported to Ollie’s “secret hiding place/where the wild things are”.
With ‘Neverland’, Ollie Twohill has created an amazing single reminiscent of the emo/pop-punk songs of his youth, more upbeat and faster paced than his usual work, this latest cut is nothing short of an escape and retreat for those who feel that "Planet Earth is not my friend".
