Brooklyn’s
Oberhofer make music most apt for the slowly maturing, jilted generation of indie kids whose first favourite band was
The Drums. Brash garage sounds akin to
Girls, rather ostentatious (but irresistible) whistling and their compression under a sheen of summery haziness combine to make these guys sound like Jonathan Pierce & co., but beef-ified and lo-fi-ified.
The band is soon to support hotly-tipped
The Vaccines at their Brooklyn gig. Surely being a band tipped by probably the most talked about UK upstarts around makes you, like, super-tipped? I’d hope so. They’ve certainly got the tunes anyway.
