Oh My Me

meisajDaily Life

Years ago I bought a CD in support of Wussy going down to SXSW.  It came with a CD by a band I’d never heard before called Oh My Me.

It made an impression on me. It’s jazzy, soulful maybe.  The only place I’ve ever found information on them is on Bandcamp.

This is their profile :

Oh My Me was formed in Lexington, Ky in 2010. With a wildly-varying musical background, the group blends an eclectic mix of battering drums, psychedelia & heavy-soul vocals to form it’s uniquely theatrical sound.

They haven’t produced anything since 2012.  It seems a little crazy that 2012 was 14 years ago.  So I don’t think they’ll mind if I embed one of their songs here, but if they do, just let me know and I’ll remove it

You can still find them on Bandcamp (Oh My Me) where you can buy their live album and EP for whatever price you want.  Totally worth picking up in my opinion. 

They are one of those bands I find myself coming back to regularly for their distinct sound.

A New Sound

oh my me album coverOn several occasions in my life I have randomly held onto a cd that I really had no interest in listening to.  I think the best case for this was from my youth, when randomly the BMG CD Club sent me Pablo Honey by Radiohead.  When someone visiting the house said they were I put it in the cd player and never looked back.

So yesterday driving home I was tired and looking for something to keep me awake.  I grabbed the cd’s in the door of my car and came upon Oh My Me.  I had picked up the cd with Wussy and Sundresses from a Kickstarter campaign last year.  I love Wussy (they are amazing, check them out) and the Sundresses impressed the hell out of me as well.  But Oh My Me, I had no clue who they were, and their cd was in a plastic sleeve looking a little underwhelming.

But wanting something new to keep me up I threw the cd in the car.  The first song was blew me away.  Sounding both old jazz/bluesy and yet something altogether different at the same time.  I was awake and involved in the music for the next 20 minutes til I arrived at home.  A quick search and purchase later and I had a live album to along with the cd I already had.

Life is good.  I’ve got new music to listen to.  And that’s always a good thing.
