    Silver Dollar Moment is a stunning debut, and if it doesn't quite reinvent the wheel the way that The Stone Roses did, it does have a uniquely sweet spirit and lighthearted beauty all its own.

    For all their feel-good, boppy charm, The Orielles have created a truly intelligent indie-pop album with Silver Dollar Moment.

    Silver Dollar Moment’s vibrancy is at odds with the current mood of the world, but it’s also a vital indication of where we’re at now in terms of indie music’s trajectory. It shakes off any negative connotations of modern indie, particularly in the ‘landfill’ sense of the word, and reclaims it.

    Their debut is a carefully crafted collection of songs that seem nostalgic and novel, summoning ghosts while exploiting guitar music’s capacity for oddness and idiosyncrasy.

    What makes debut Silver Dollar Moment such a satisfying listen isn't just the gusto with which they make it their own, it's how the record bubbles with ideas. [Mar 2018, p.113]

    This really is just a trio of mates having a bloody good time celebrating their heroes while making something dazzlingly new.

    Much of the record maintains a high tempo in line with the singles released so far, but interestingly it’s the one real downer that provides the album’s standout moment.

    Silver Dollar Moment, is a consistently charming affair, veering on the right side of both nostalgic requiescence and syrupy saccharine sweet.
