A thread for the music of Long Islander Jade Lilitri, more commonly known by the "band" name oso oso.
The last oso oso album - The Yunahon Mixtape - is a modern day emo-revival classic, and its follow-up - Basking In The Glow - is out this Friday.
This might be my song of the year so far:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9KJ6etywU8
This one's good too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDocqOCHhUs
Conclusion: This guy is a pop-rock genius who doesn't write bad songs!

I was wary with the emo tag but this is awesome. Reminds me of Pinback.

we enjoyed both advance singles
― imago, Monday, 12 August 2019 20:25 (five years ago) link
great band/songwriter, "reindeer games" is one of my favorite songs of the past few years
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 12 August 2019 20:30 (five years ago) link
Agree on the Pinback comparison, really looking forward to this album!
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 12 August 2019 20:31 (five years ago) link
v excited about this album

Love the singles; really looking forward to this and also to seeing him with Prince Daddy and the Hyena in November! Going to be an amazing gig.

oooh hadn't seen that, will hopefully be there as well
― devvvine, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 16:10 (five years ago) link
unsurprisingly this album is very good
― devvvine, Thursday, 15 August 2019 20:05 (five years ago) link
heard nothing but amazing things about this, can't wait
― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 15 August 2019 20:06 (five years ago) link
hadn't even heard the best song on the album when i posted
― devvvine, Thursday, 15 August 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link
i don't know how to pick a "best" this thing is all killer earworms, or at least 8/10 killer earworms
i'll be singing "MY EYES LIT UP WHEN I SAW IT" to my grave
near-perfect album
― alpine static, Friday, 16 August 2019 07:30 (five years ago) link
one of the best of the year for sure
― devvvine, Friday, 16 August 2019 11:52 (five years ago) link
v pleasantly surprised that this got bnm, which uh from personal experience never happens with an emo record. seems to have totally deserved it too
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 16 August 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
yeah, especially one towards the pop-punk end of the spectrum
― devvvine, Friday, 16 August 2019 17:17 (five years ago) link
BNM on pitchfork. First one for an emo album?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 16 August 2019 21:42 (five years ago) link
I prefer the dig ii version
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 16 August 2019 21:43 (five years ago) link
the last brand new album was bnm
― devvvine, Friday, 16 August 2019 21:49 (five years ago) link
yeah, he should've just let dig end after 3:25 or whatever it is rather than tacking on that last 80 seconds of guitars
morning song is my hidden gem tucked into the middle of this album
― alpine static, Saturday, 17 August 2019 07:58 (five years ago) link
Say hi if you end up going!
The new album is blissful. Was going to say my favourite run of songs, but realised I couldn’t leave out any track. However, a morning song is going to be on repeat throughout late summer.
― tangenttangent, Saturday, 17 August 2019 12:45 (five years ago) link
"the view" is such a sick song
― american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 17 August 2019 14:07 (five years ago) link
every song on this record has this hazy waking up in sunlight feeling that i really love and i particularly feel it on "a morning song"
― american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 17 August 2019 14:35 (five years ago) link
This is really nice ! Not usually my thing but I like this
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Saturday, 17 August 2019 14:47 (five years ago) link
xxp for sure, and thanks for the glass beach rec!
― devvvine, Saturday, 17 August 2019 15:16 (five years ago) link
surprisingly this has been on repeat for me all week
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 22 August 2019 19:42 (five years ago) link
same have had a hard time listening to anything else
― devvvine, Thursday, 22 August 2019 20:25 (five years ago) link
Hadn't listened to this for a month or so, but have been listening in between poll stuff the last couple of days and oh it is so joyful.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 21 October 2019 22:21 (four years ago) link
i had the same experience the other day!
― alpine static, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 06:47 (four years ago) link
shoulda realised the ldn show would sell out once the record got bnm'd :(
― devvvine, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 09:48 (four years ago) link
Oh no! I think there were a couple of people selling on Twitter/the Facebook page for the event. I’ll keep an eye out just in case.
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 22 October 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
I feel like Ive been putting off writing this as long as I can because I don’t want it to feel anymore real then it does. I don’t want to say goodbye, I don’t want the fucking world to keep turning with out you. This past Thursday was without a doubt the worst day of my life, Our family lost Tavish. I mean it when I say I didn’t even know it was possible to hurt like this. I can’t stop thinking about the very first time I met you as a little boy coming up to me at your birthday party saying “I got dardt maul on my cake”(not a typo) or you sitting in the shopping cart at the supermarket singing creed (the take me higher song lmao). I can’t believe our relationship or how it developed or the things we did and saw together. I wish I could go back to riding around Long Beach in your car after your 18th birthday smoking blunt after blunt talking about music. I wish I knew how different my life was going to be after that, you on the other hand knew exactly (this was before oso oso even existed and he was like ‘you’ll see were gonna be playing music together touring all the time’-less than two years later we were playing music together on tour.) I wish I could go back to the times where I felt depressed and lonely and asked you to chill and you drove for hours to chill for days no questions asked, even if we did nothing. I feel like nobody can understand the special thing we had, and I know a number of people are feeling that way because the love you gave wasn’t bullshit, it was real and authentic, and unique to each person every time. My heart is broken and I cant call the person who has bailed me out every time before when my heart has broken. I would give anything in the world to see you again. Im so glad I got to spend 5 weeks with you the last month, I wish I would’ve known those were going to be some of the most special days of my life. The last thing I wanna say for now is I want people to know how well Tav was doing well, he was healthy happy and ready to thrive, we were filming a movie together, he had just started writing music for his album we were going to produce in the summer and couldn’t wait till we could get to tour again. Tavish was literally a rockstar in every sense of the word he found the coolness in everything creative, he treated the stage like church and the audience like god. I cant believe your gone I miss you I miss your voice I miss your smile I miss the stars in your eyes whenever the world would give you back a fraction of what you gave it. Tavish I love you so fucking much, and thank you for telling me that first all the time otherwise idk if i wouldve had the courage to say it back and this would be even harder. This life is so fragile. I dont know what to say other than Love hard. I cant believe ill never get to watch adam sandler with or hide in weird places and scare eachother, or argue about whos going to roll the next blunt with my little baby brother i never deserved in the first place. Tavish there will never be enough words or enough time for the rest of my life, i love you i love i love you. Thank you if reached out this week im sorry if i didnt respond i will look at every message when i can and i appreciate it. Please dont stop sharing stories of Tav, he was the funniest person i knew and seeing stories is the only thing making any of this more bearable. RIP TAVISH SLOAN MALONEY

"That’s What Time Does" sounds like a Phoenix album track
