Sounding at times like psychedelic pop geniuses The Flaming Lips and at other times like dance pop heroes The Postal Service and even at times like Belle and Sebastian, without ever really any of those trademark sounds, is the best way to describe what I hear when I listen to Oppenheimer. They haven’t ‘made it’ yet but that’s not for lack of trying their asses off. You should take a minute a read the ordeals that he has gone through to keep the band/music/dream that is Oppenheimer alive over in this post on his personal blog. It might be the best overview of what it takes to finally break even in the music scene and should be a must read for any aspiring artist.
mp3 : Oppenheimer - Saturday Looks Bad To Me
mp3 : Oppenheimer - This Is Not A Test
Both of these tracks are available on the Oppenheimer self titled debut, Oppenheimer (iTunes) which was released in June of 2006, and I’m excited to say that their new album is done and awaiting a proper release date. I also would like to add that I would love to hear a killer remix of the track Saturday Looks Bad To Me that could be called the Saturday Looks Fine Remix. Or something. I personally love the eclectic mix of sounds that Oppenheimer has found and I’m anticipating the sophomore effort.
