Oberhofer // 4-Track:

Oberhofer

19 year-old Brad Oberhofer makes the kind of melodies that seem incapable of avoiding that glorious, killer, fall-out...

Every song on his brilliant 'o0Oo0Oo' EP coils its way towards your heart, his bombastic song-writing at once care-free and purposeful, single-minded and recklessly nonchalant..

Pick it up for free, right here..

Big shouts to I Feel Infinite for the tip

I Could Go - Oberhofer
Haus - Oberhofer

Read and listen to Brad's perfect 4-Track below..

Sing-Along - Okay
(Listen Here)
"I would always listen to this record, 'High Road', in the car. One summer I bought a super nice kazoo and blared this song with the windows and sun-roof down and played along with the kazoo part in this song as loud as I could on countless occasions."

Summer Here Kids - Grandaddy

"I can't count the number of summer days in Tacoma I started with this song."

Looking for the Perfect Beat - Afrika Bambaataa

"For some reason, I am completely in love with this. I don't think it needs much explaining."

Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie

"This song has the best memory associations. In high school, the Bowie mix in my Volvo was on constant repeat."

Seams x Shells:

Seams gets a subtle rework from little-known electronic artist Shells, trimming the glorious 'Nightcycles' down to a perfect 3 and a half minutes of rhapsodic joy...

If you're in London on the 20th, Seams will be down at The Stag's Head with Dam Mantle and Becoming Real..

Conifers:

Conifers, quite appropriately, calls this a 'growing project'..

Active Child:

Active Child pushes some kind of wicked Gospel that's for sure..

With Pat Grossi's skeletal production and clarion call vocals, this is all breath-taking stuff..

Dropping a 7" with the ever-prosperous Transparent on Jan 11th, we've also got an excellent rework of the b-side from Summer Camp, complete with samples from 'It's A Wonderful Life'..
