Apr 24, 2012When the strings rise into the mix as the song comes to a perfectly timed close, it's readily apparent that oOoOO's patience and time spent growing as a producer and a songwriter has paid off tremendously.
-
Apr 24, 2012Five songs coming in just under 18 minutes of superior darkly-stranded pop music.
-
Apr 24, 2012With its otherworldy cries, spectral synths, slow-burning beat, and the kind of impeccable production that would do Burial proud, "NoWayBack" is a four-and-a-half minute summary of the best of what oOoOO has to offer.
-
May 1, 2012Numbers like "Springs" and "NoWayBack," featuring the "good witch/wicked witch" vocals of Berlin Germany's Butterclock, may show that oOoOO is willing to move forward with his music, just not at the destroy-and-rebuild pace that the average ADD-afflicted hipster has grown to crave.
-
May 29, 2012It does sound a lot like oOoOO and under scrutiny with A-B comparisons, Our Loving Is Hurting Us is pretty starkly more of the same.
-
May 4, 2012The songs as individual pieces work just fine but the collection taken as a whole makes each piece feel more complete within the contextual possibilities. Overall, it's a strange but very solid release.
-
May 31, 2012Everything else seems comparatively flat and unsurprising; while the components of the individual songs are different, the results are of a kind, like a set of recipes using the same ingredients.
