Domestic pop for domestic occasions is the description OMO gives for their music and it can be none more fitting. Playing through their CD is like taking a long breathe of fresh air. The beats are simple and the instrumentation is minimal. However, there is a complexity that can be found in subtlety. The music itself is somewhere between the Books and Beck, their bizzarro pop is one of the most unique and refreshing styles that I have encountered in quite a long time.

A relatively new band, OMO hails from Berlin/ London and consists of 2 members (Berit Immig and David Muth) although there are appearances by Camalo Gaskin & Alexander Holmes. The sound of their music can be attributed to the way in which OMO makes music. Using only small instruments that can fit in an apartment ( amplified Casio keyboards and sampled acoustic textures) they create some of the most unusual yet satisfying sounds that could be used in pop music. For a pretty new band (started in 2004), OMO has a very well defined and unique sound. This CD has become one of my favorites and I hope to see what is to come next from this great band.
