Oso Oso's New Album: A Musical Exchange on Mark Quinlan's Feral Twin Records
Oso Oso, the Long Island-based emo-pop band, has announced their highly anticipated new album, 'An Exchange of Information', set to be released on November 6th. This marks a significant moment in the music industry as the album is the inaugural release on Feral Twin Records, a new label founded by Hop Along's Mark Quinlan. The album's lead single, 'Know You Know Me Better', is already available for streaming, and the cover art features a charming giraffe, adding to the album's allure.
A Musical Exchange on a New Label
Quinlan's Feral Twin Records is a venture born from his extensive experience in the music industry, having worked as a musician, agent, talent buyer, and tour manager. His goal is to create a platform that prioritizes the quality and significance of each release, rather than just filling a release schedule. This approach aligns with Oso Oso's artistic vision, as the band is now signed to the label, marking a collaborative effort between the artist and the label owner.
An Exchange of Information: Tracklist and Tour
The album's tracklist reveals a diverse range of songs, including '4 AM Redemption', 'It's All Bait', and 'The Nights'. Oso Oso's music has been praised for its emotional depth and catchy melodies, and this album is expected to showcase their evolving sound. The band will also be embarking on a North American tour in the fall, with supporting acts Leisure Hour and Bad Luck on the East Coast, and Liquid Mike and Bugsy out West.
A Rising Star in Emo-Pop
Oso Oso's previous album, 'Life Till Bones', received critical acclaim, and their single 'Computer Exploder' was featured in Pitchfork's '100 Best Songs of 2022'. With Feral Twin Records, the band has an opportunity to reach a wider audience and further establish their place in the emo-pop genre. Quinlan's commitment to quality and his industry connections will undoubtedly contribute to the success of this new venture.
Personal Reflection
As an expert in the music industry, I find this development particularly fascinating. The rise of independent labels like Feral Twin Records is a testament to the power of artist-driven initiatives. Quinlan's passion for music and his dedication to fostering meaningful artistic collaborations will likely result in a thriving label. Oso Oso's association with Feral Twin Records is a promising sign for the band's future, and I look forward to witnessing the impact of this musical exchange.
