Oh No! Oh My! - S/T

Here's a few tracks from last year's Oh No! Oh My! album which is pretty much on the brink of making them a cult success. This self titled debut is thus far one of the more enjoyable new albums I've heard of late. You can tell they've been listening to a lot of late Neutral Milk Hotel and The Microphones from the simple yet well thought out pop melodies that litter the album. There's also a nice duality theme between electronic outbursts and acoustic strummery, present in a number of my favorite tracks and the two elements manage to bounce off each other fairly well. The album's not without it's negative points. There are a few songs in which the singing manages to become annoying and the acoustic patterns become slightly flavourless. But when Oh No! Oh My! try their hand at more bouncy numbers, they become incredibly infectious and thoroughly enjoyable.

Add Oh No! Oh My! on Myspace and hear a few more songs.

Unexpected bonus: Here's some tracks from when Oh No! Oh My! went under the name The Jolly Rogers. I'm not sure how easily available these recordings are so I'm not putting up the whole demo.
