Ollie Harryson – “Poltergeist”

Ollie Harryson – “Poltergeist”

Released to align with All Saints and Halloween weekend, “Poltergeist” turns the afterglow of a fractured relationship into something beautifully supernatural. Ollie Harryson writes and produces with a diaristic touch—intimate vocals close to the mic, guitar and subtle synth figures setting a late-night pulse—before the chorus blooms and lingers like a presence you can’t quite shake. The metaphor is direct but resonant: being haunted by what someone said and didn’t say, by the versions of them you wanted to believe in.

Crafted in full by Ollie and mastered by Nico Koufakis, the track leans into feel as much as fidelity. There’s an instinctive swing to the groove, a push-and-pull that keeps the song in motion while the lyric admits uncertainty and pull. Indie pop edges meet singer-songwriter candor; hopebeat warmth brushes against the chill of loss. It’s the contrast that makes “Poltergeist” land—human and immediate, yet tinged with the eerie aura of the season.

With a chorus built for repeat plays and a production that balances closeness with clarity, “Poltergeist” fits seamlessly alongside contemporary indie-soul and singer-songwriter pop while staking out its own space: honest, catchy, and quietly cinematic. It’s the kind of song that finds you when the lights go low—and stays with you after.
