The Bristol-formed group, named by DIY as ‘boundary-pushing’, have unveiled their latest track, produced by band members Eric Davies and Claudia Vulliamy in their East London studio.
The track was mixed by Matteo Buccomino and mastered by John Webber. Marking a new era since their highly-praised 2023 debut EP Back To Nothing (released via Ali Chant’s Fascination Street Records), ‘Sally’ brings us straight in with a punchy and relentlessly catchy bassline. Clean and intricately syncopated, this track is a lusciously textured showcase of Oslo Twins’ evolving sound, which is venturing into cleaner, more electronic territory.
Hidden in the song’s infectious beat and joyful synths, there is a tone of yearning and melancholia. Pithy and vernacular lyrics in the verses hint at hidden emotions, while the chorus reveals what’s behind the cool facade: “Each release only seems to get catchier.” Line Of Best Fit
SUPPORTS:
Shannon Pearl is a neo-folk/witch-pop artist from the northeast of England. Trained as a Priestess and named a Sacred Sound Carrier on the Isle of Avalon, her spellbinding music has been described as "Haunting and ethereal" more than once. Taking inspiration from folklore, ancient tradition and nature, and providing a visual spectacle on stage - her music and interwoven story telling will take you deep into the realms of the unknown, leaving you bewitched.
With over 4,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and festivals such as Northern Kin and Lindisfarne under her belt as well as slots supporting the likes of Tygers of Pan Tang and The Black Heart Orchestra, this year is set to be a big one for witch-pop music!
Having already gone viral for her Kulning videos on Instagram and TikTok with her biggest video reaching over A MILLION views, her latest release ‘Fae Fälla’ - a mini-EP of short but magical ‘Kulning’ songs – is doing very well on Spotify as witch-pop spreads across the world.

Carlisle’s NOVABLOOD are songwriter and music producer Mark Zowie, Paolo Di Liberto and Paul Newton. Zowie is known for his House Music productions as one half of Lil' Devious, (BMG, Ministry Of Sound) and Percy Filth (Fat Boy Slim’s Southern Fried label) to frontman and songwriter for electronic band Burn The Negative (Gung-Ho! records).

The band released 'Destroy The Magic', their first album for London label Old World-New World, in October last year which went straight into the iTunes Electronic charts top 10 in its first week of release. The first single from the album, ‘Biblical’, features a video directed by Hollywood director Clive Tonge (2018's cult horror 'Mara') which has been selected for play at this year’s Hollywood Day Short Film Festival with the track receiving strong support from Apple Music, the BBC and RTE in Ireland.

The band toured extensively late last year including a date at the legendary Pikes in Ibiza after which they performed an exclusive one-hour set on the island's Sonica radio station.
