    The result is indie rock, and Omni, at their 100% best and most exhilarating.

    We find Omni changing the formula only slightly and having incredible success with it. Highly recommended. Underrate them at your peril.

    An instantly engaging, 11-track set with zip, heart, sly humour and real staying power, which shucks off the often dry terseness of the genre without trashing its template. [Feb 2024, p.34]

    It's over in a flash, an exhilarating fairground ride you won't want to disembark. [Mar 2024, p.88]

    Souvenir never feels nostalgic. It’s too fast-paced, with only one song extending past three-and-a-half seconds. It’s too brisk, mechanical and brittle to deal in memories. The album shines when it delivers those high-octane moments of rock. These are no souvenirs; they’re gifts for the present.

    The band’s deepest, and strongest, album to-date.

    Listening to Souvenir, I can’t help but think of Stuck, the Chicago post-punk-into-no-wave outfits that sometimes refers to itself as “evil Omni.” .... Comparing the two, you might begin to wonder if there’s anything solid behind Omni’s detached cleverness, it’s super clean, super manicured attack. Maybe regular Omni could benefit from a touch of evil.
