The band's debut EP 'Back To Nothing' is subtly influenced by dance, industrial and lo-fi music of the 80s and 90s, adorned with distinctive, hooky pop melodies. The new EP includes previously released singles “Breath”, “Miss Yesterday” and title track “Back to Nothing”, all receiving notable support from BBC 6 Music, So Young Magazine, The Independent, DIY Magazine, Rough Trade, The Line Of Best Fit, amongst others.
The songs on Oslo Twins' debut EP vary in mood from the danceable anthem “Miss Yesterday” to the rhythmic and otherwordly “Basilica”, all connected by a sense of distant places and the tension between unity and isolation.
Recruiting the likes of Harry Furniss from Bingo Fury (cornet) and Tom Connolly (violin) of the band Quade to contribute to the recordings, the 'Back To Nothing' EP showcases Oslo Twins’ distinctive amalgamation of sounds; organ, fiddle and vibraphone all complimenting ethereal and danceable synths and Claudia Vulliamy's vocals which move seamlessly between delicate and intimate sections to more intense and powerful segments.

about
Subtly influenced by dance, industrial and lo-fi music of the 80s and 90s, adorned with distinctive, hooky pop melodies, all connected by a sense of distance and the tension between unity and isolation. New single (and title track of their upcoming EP) “Back To Nothing” is lyrically suggestive of romantic loss, yet its steady rhythm and bright legato synths evoke a sense of calm acceptance.
Produced, mixed and engineered by Ali Chant, the track signals the release of the band's debut EP, due for release on Fascination Street Records later this month.
lyrics
Well, some ships sail
And some ships burn
You’ve come a long way
But there’s so much to learn
And when the Avon lights
And ripples make me yearn
The colours of her eyes
Make me wanna turn
Away from everything, back to nothing
The leaves fall down
The sun sets, mist is in the air
You’re spinning me around
Your feet are off the ground without a care
Oh, I thought that I had already run away
But I see that nothing has changed since yesterday
Now I’m running down the road
Oh, I’m never coming home
Away from everything, back to nothing

My God, this is great music. They’re just killing it! The rhythm section knows how to get it done. Looking forward to to more from these folks. The Ghost of Haggis Wampovich
