Oscar - Sometimes

1.   Who is this buttoned up player?

Oscar Scheller is an indie guitar pop one man band from North London, England. Sometimes (Jan'16) is a re-release from 2014 and the first track on Oscar's debut album Cut And Paste (May'16). Oscar has two short players and singles in the vault.


2. What kind of tune is up for grabs?

Middle of the road indie pop rock. So middle of the road it's a hazard to traffic.


3. Who does Sometimes sound like?

So Blur it isn't even funny. Add Kate Pierson from the B-52's on back up vocals. Dusted.

Stereogum feel Sometimes sounds like a Beat Happening tune.


4. What have the cut and paste merchants got to say?

“Infectious and rambunctious” – Write, Click, Cook, Listen.

“Sprightly guitar-driven rave-up” – Stereogum.

“A sparkling, hook-laden introduction (to Oscar)” – Clash Music.

5. Who puts the middle in Oscar’s road?

Oscar's influences are Blur, Grimes, The Kinks, reggae, NAS, Chet Baker and ESG.


6. Why should I waste valuable time pressing play?

Sometimes is the aural equivalent of comfort food. You won't be carving 'Oscar 4 Real' on your chest but you'll love it just the same.


7. Has Oscar got any more good tunes?

Beautiful Words is more of the same. Sound as a pound.


8. Any more pearls of wisdom?

Oscar is the product of a privileged upbringing and an art school education.

Oscar was on fluffer duties for Sunflower Bean in the UK and Bloc Party recently in Paris.

“I’m freaking out so let me through,

Head space, some place.”

Dessert is served by Cheers Elephant, an indie pop rock band from Philadelphia. Cheers Elephant have standard issue influences like The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Kinks. Also coming from a privileged background the band have recorded three albums. Speak Think is a stand alone single from 2015 and described by Swollen Fox as having a “groovy, summery feel.” The chorus is as sticky as a rapist in church.

“I’m a fill my cup

By standing up on what’s alright”
