    When 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.

    Five songs coming in just under 18 minutes of superior darkly-stranded pop music.

    Numbers 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.

    Something in the air of the hoary label worked obscurely on his imagination.

    With 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.

    It 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.

    Despite its short 5-track playlist, "Our Loving is Hurting Us" leaves the listener satiated. oOoOO's sound is part Portishead and part TrickyDespite its short 5-track playlist, "Our Loving is Hurting Us" leaves the listener satiated. oOoOO's sound is part Portishead and part Tricky with a dash of Coldplay for added flavor. The result is a haunting, melancholy album that's perfect for break-ups and rainy days. Highlights include "TryTry", "Break Yr. Heart" and "No Way Back". Full Review »
