Minta & The Brook Trout – Olympia

Olympia is the second studio album by Minta & The Brook Trout, released in 2012.

The record represents a turning point in the band’s journey, with songs rooted in folk‑pop but exploring more elaborate arrangements, gentle melodies and a production focused on nuance and atmosphere. Guitars, bass and keyboards surround Francisca Cortesão’s voice with subtlety, shaping songs about memories, relationships and the everyday that find a space of introspection and delicacy. Olympia highlights the Lisbon‑based collective’s artistic growth and reinforces their distinctive identity in the Portuguese independent music scene.
