Denmark breeds them well, I'll definitely say that. Oh No Ono is the newest batch of Danish broods to get hyped in the states and it's certainly understandable why. Besides being quite easy on the eyes, the psych-pop quintet delivers majestically synthesized rock, complete with the quintessential androgynous vocal (made popular by fellow Danes - Mew, amongst others), and juxtaposed instrumentals that blend airy flutes and bells with deep orchestral violins and drums.
Their fourth and latest effort, Eggs is a splendid smorgasbord of those styles -
Lucky for us, Oh No Ono is currently on tour in the US, and will be playing a set of shows this week in Manhattan and Brooklyn - WOOOOHOOOO!!!
Tomorrow, Tuesday January 26, 2009 Oh No Ono is playing a FREE SHOW at Sound Fix Records in W-burg at 7:00 pm.
Sadly, their Wednesday show at Mercury Lounge with Bear in Heaven is sold out - which I would have totally shelled out the whopping $10 to attend (had I formerly anticipated that the show would actually sell out) - Bear in Heaven is another psych-pop outfit from Brooklyn, with a different, yet equally awesome stylistic approach
Bear in Heaven - Deafening Love is a sweet track off their album Beast Rest Forth Mouth!
Anyway, the dapper Danes are playing a third show at Union Hall in the BK, on Thursday and tickets for that are still available.
I am most excited to see the band live - hopefully they will live up to all my hopes, dreams and naughty expectations....
In the meantime, here are some of my favorite Oh No Ono tracks from Eggs:
Oh No Ono - Helplessly Young
Oh No Ono - Internet Warrior
Oh No Ono - Swim
