Wichita Recordings is the British-based label that's launched the careers of Bloc Party, The Cribs, Best Coast and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The next artist to benefit from the label's reputation as peddlers of world-class indie rock and pop is Oscar Scheller. Going by just his first name, this London-born purveyor of agreeably earworming indie-pop tunes got 2016 off to a flyer with the fizzing and brilliant single, Sometimes.
Raised by musical parents – they fronted pop band The Regents, and dad later produced acid house bangers – Oscar soaks up London's various, wide-ranging musical styles in his livewire, punkish indie-pop, from dancehall and dub to boom-bap and tender, late-night torch songs. But thoughout his upcoming debut album, Cut And Paste, his infectious, starbright melodies and a hypnotic baritone voice are seductive constants.
RedBull.com/Music love him so we got him in to perform live for our showcase series See. Hear. Now.
