OYAMA HANDSOME DEVIL
After a relatively long silence since their debut LP Cool Boy in 2014, Reykjavik's Oyama make a strong return with their hauntingly beautiful new single 'Handsome Devil'. This soundscape-come-pop-song combines echoing shoegaze guitars with hazy, chanting vocals, which break out in cinematic moments of escape. “It’s a song about finding yourself in an environment that is beyond your grasp of understanding,” Úlfur Einarsson says. “Trying to make sense of it and coming to terms with your existence within the space you occupy.” Oyama are currently on tour in the UK with label mates Foxing. - HLMX
