19 May 2017 (Toronto, ON) –
Oh Wonder are very pleased to unveil details of a new track and video from their forthcoming second album,
Ultralife.
Ultralife
is now released on the July 14 though Island Records / Universal Music
Canada, the country’s leading music company. The track is titled “
Heavy”
and launches today with a fascinating new video, recorded on set in
London with photographer Josh Shinner. The video painstakingly stitches
together 2665 individual photographs to create the allusion of the
British duo dancing within a makeshift colour cube. Listen to “Heavy”
here Heavy is the fourth track to be previewed from
Ultralife
and follows current single “Ultralife”, “Lifetimes”, and “My Friends”.
The band have just headed back to the US, for their second run of live
dates in as many months, having bookended their previous dates with two
standout performances at Coachella. Following the album’s release, they
will perform at the Reading and Leeds Festival in late August,
interspersed with a handful of European festival slots. Details of a UK
tour in the Autumn will be announced imminently. The band’s recent,
intimate live date at London’s Omeara sold out in under one minute.
Ultralife is
both Oh Wonder’s extraordinary second album and their debut proper. Its
eponymously-titled predecessor, released in late 2015, was a collection
of songs they had posted online at the rate of one a month, which
millions of listeners fell in love with, turning London-based Josephine
Vander Gucht and Anthony West into reluctant pop stars.
