OberhoferYOU MIGHT NOT HAVE HEARD OF...
Oberhofer from Brooklyn.

....BUT OUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE:
that we're utterly confused. The poppy melodies are delivered on a tray of avant garde surrealism, guitar scuzz, screaming... and even the odd bit of whistling.

THE SIGNS ARE LOOKING GOOD:
Unsigned but heavily talked about [The Independent recently flagged them up as one of the most blogged bands on HypeM], they're releasing their debut single 'o0O0o0O0o' on September 13.

IT'S ONLY A FIRST DATE, BUT WE'RE THINKING:
They're one of the few bands that can combine artistic randomness with actual decent tunes. It's rarer than you think!

SHOCK OF THE NEW BONUS:
We gave away an MP3 of the B-Side to Oberhofer's forthcoming single 'o0O0o0O0o' last week, grab 'Don'tneedya' right here
