Album Review: Oh Wonder - Oh Wonder

London pop duo Oh Wonder, aka Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, sent songs off their self-titled debut out into the world once a month over a year.

Hungry fans that cottoned onto their unorthodox PR exercise were rewarded with emotion-charged songwriting and indie-infused synth pop. Drive is sleekly styled with clipped strings and dynamic guy/girl interplay, Body Gold's lounge vibe is pouty and taut, while All We Do drips with emotional piano tinkling and tumultuous lyrics. The breathy piping does make some tracks sound the same, but Oh Wonder's gorgeous production and pop savvy make it a solid debut.
