Oh No! Oh My!
Oh No! Oh My! are from Nashville. They are named after a song by The Robot Ate Me. They want to play cheerful music. Oh, and they used to be called The Jolly Rogers. And that’s about everything I know about them.
They don’t seem to share a great deal on their Myspace page, and their website is seemingly just a dumping ground for their mp3s. Which obviously isn’t a bad thing, but doesn’t help me write all that much about them. They have absolutely no pictures on either of those places, and Google image search returns nothing. Which is why there is no band picture and just their artwork to the right. Which isn’t really a big deal given it’s pretty awesome artwork, but it would still be kind of cool to know what these guys look like.
As for their music, they claim Sufjan Stevens and Belle & Sebastian amongst their influences, which should pique the curiosity of most people. I’d say the end result has kind of a Beulah or Of Montreal kind of vibe to it, only with their songs being a tad more coherant lyrically. They utilise a tambourines, banjos, accordians, flutes and a ton of cheerful hand claps.

MP3 Oh No! Oh My! – Walk In The Park
‘I Have No Sister’ is my favourite Oh No! Oh My! song, gleefully singing about “riding bikes into the sea”. ‘I Love You All The Time’ is a somewhat manic electronic piece on the most part, only relaxing a little for the words. It’s pretty non-sensical, but it sounds too good for me to worry about that. ‘Walk In The Park’ could easily have come from an Of Montreal album, which is obviously no bad thing at all.
Be their Myspace friend here and find a ton more mp3s on their website where you can also pick up their full CD for a bargaintastic $7.
