OSO OSO “Basking In The Glow” CD

★With Japanese commentary
★ Bonus tracks added

The long-awaited latest album by Oso Oso, one of the finest melody makers in the alternative emo genre, released by the important US indie scene label Triple Crown Records, will be released in Japan!

The digital-only single "gb/ol h/nf" (2018), which gained popularity for its refreshing, fast-paced guitar sound that inherits the lineage of US emo bands such as THE GET UP KIDS and JIMMY EAT WORLD, is included as an additional bonus track exclusive to the Japanese version!

OSO OSO is a band project by Jade Lilitri from Long Beach, NY, who has released albums under the name STATE LINES on Tiny Engines, an important label that rivals Triple Crown Records, a representative label of the US indie scene. Since 2014, they have released albums one after another, and the vinyls have been repressed as soon as they sold out, gradually attracting attention in the scene. In 2017, their second album "The Yunahon Mixtape" was released on their own bandcamp, which was praised by the major US music media "Pitchfork" as "a style that inherits the indie rock and emo style of the 00s that recalls Death Cab For Cutie and Jimmy Eat World." Furthermore, while being featured by multiple music media in Japan, they signed with Triple Crown Records. Clean tone-based dry guitar, unique yet pleasant vocals, sad yet lyrical melodies that touch the hearts of Japanese people, and excellent pop sense that puts Rivers Cuomo to shame. The ecstatic development that explodes from the middle of the song onwards will warm your heart again and again. He is truly an artist to watch out for in the "alternative emo" scene.
