Oh Wonder

Man, it's been a while since I've done a post.  The time has come.  This electropop duo from London is my most exciting recent discovery.  They sound a bit like CHVRCHES, a bit like the XX, a bit like 21 Pilots.  Their songs are intriguingly catchy and impossible to get out of your head.  Their voices work together very well, and I particularly appreciate the layering and variety of instruments.  The bass is especially awesome.  The style of the music has an undeniable R&B influence, which I don't normally enjoy, but for some reason they make it work.  Their self-titled LP has 15 songs (so refreshing in a day when most new albums are like 7 songs, 30-40 minutes), and is like $6 on amazong.  Evidently they have a new album coming out in about 6 weeks, which I will definitely be checking out.  If you listen to only a couple of their songs, check out Technicolour Beat and Livewire for the breadth of their music.  This band could become quite big I think.
