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
With lo-fi, dream-pop and trip-hop influences, Oslo Twins' new single "Miss Yesterday" is just the kind of upbeat anthem that we all need right now.
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 year.
lyrics
Some things rub you up the wrong way
But honey, that’s the reason you’re where you are today
Some things hit you on the other side
But it doesn’t matter all that much tonight
I never thought you’d believe that
We are the same
I never thought you would see that
Oh, you are not to blame
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
I’ll show you skies of blue
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
No one sees the world like we do
Let’s try to dig up something real
Cause the bottom of the bottle couldn’t tell you how you feel
Sometimes you’ve gotta watch it burn
Looking over from the roof, now it’s my turn
I never thought you’d believe that
We are the same
I never thought you would see that
Oh, you are not to blame
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
I’ll show you skies of blue
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
Cause no one see the world like we do
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
I’ll show you skies of blue
I’ve come from so far away
Take me there, Miss Yesterday
No one sees the world like we do
