Oh
No Oh My! – “Dimitrij Dimitrij”
EP (Jolly Zombie)
The brilliantly titled opener “Wham
bam thank you spaceman” starts off in
a very promising way with its spooky intro.
The song doesn’t disappoint, and the
rolling rhythm keeps a great tempo at the
same time as the rest of it has a background
of sadness and melancholy. Halfway into the
song there is a brilliantly ambient guitar
sound before the second half builds up to
its crescendo.
This indie four-piece from the vibrant music
scene of Austin, Texas are a new introduction
to this reviewer, albeit a very promising
one. They utilise a multitude of instruments
to create emotion and ambience in their songs
and are, lest we forget, incredibly catchy
at the same time.
Most of the songs on “Dimitrij Dimitrij”
are upbeat in their tempo but melancholy in
sound. It’s only the second song, The
boy with an anchor that has a cheerfulness
which is slightly out of place. Variety is
something to applaud but it is when Oh no
oh my! write emotional songs that they excel.
More of that on the full length album please.
“Dimitrij Dimitrij” is still
an interesting collection of pop songs and
it evokes a mood that is perfect for the current
season. - Mirza Gazic
