Info zu Home Tapes

“In this unprecedented period of confusion and loneliness, we wanted to contribute to the world's efforts to make sense of it all, in the only way we know how. We are taking it back to how we started this band and embarking on a new project called "Home Tapes", where we will seek to write, produce and mix songs at home to share with the world on a regular basis. In the absence of certainty, at least we will have music, and we hope that these songs provide some comfort, companionship and relief to those that need it.” (Josephine and Anthony)

Oh Wonder have launched a brand new series called "Home Tapes" which will see the duo write, record, produce and release a string of brand new songs from their home studio in South London.

It’s been a whirlwind year so far for Oh Wonder – the idiosyncratic musical partnership of Anthony West and Josephine Vander Gucht. February saw them release their 2nd Top 10 album – No One Else Can Wear Your Crown and subsequently embark on their momentous world tour to celebrate. The tour began with a magnificent homecoming show at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire but was put on hold three days later in Paris as the world was brought to a standstill.

Oh Wonder
When we last heard from Londoners Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, they were capping an incredible year with a sold-out show at London’s Roundhouse. In the space of fourteen months, they went from tentatively playing a first live show at London’s ICA to touring the world, playing shows across Latin America, Australia, Russia and Asia, and repeat UK, Europe, US and Canada tours to ever increasing rooms. It culminated in 162 shows in 112 cities, with a mighty 83,000 tickets sold. A connection.

Oh Wonder began as a writing project, where the duo set out to write, record and release one song every month for a year, hoping to inevitably pitch the songs to other artists. However the tracks were being listened to in their hundreds of thousands, and then into their multi-millions; now their first album is fast approaching half a billion streams. Anthony and Josephine’s side project had inadvertently morphed into an internationally touring band; a happy accident indeed.

‘Ultralife’ is the sound of a new confidence seeping into the pair’s songwriting. It is muscular in its delivery, celebratory in its message, and plays with a dizzying array of textures and sounds, but without losing the essence of what makes Oh Wonder so special.

Oh Wonder head to the US in April to play a series of West Coast shows around their two slots at Coachella. They return to the US in May for six further dates ahead of a summer of festival performances across the UK/Europe.
