Oh Wonder released 22 Make, the much awaited new album that is now available on Island Records and includes the album’s lead single. The distinctive London band’s intimate instore dates around the UK continue this week as listed below. The band played a massive globe tour this year, including a sold out homecoming show at Brixton Academy.
22 Make is a vulnerable, yet ultimately uplifting body of work that features the songs “Can We Always Be Friends?,” “Magnificent,” “Fuck It I Love You,” and the romantic road movie “True Romance.” It concludes the two-part 22 Break project by Oh Wonder, whose first episode was teased last year, and it continues the group’s incredible so far adventure together.
The amazing tale of Oh Wonder’s troubled period is dissected in 22 Make. In its first half, 22 Break, the epidemic was used to magnify universal themes (loneliness, inadequacy, bitterness, and anxieties for the future) as they were experienced by one couple in real time.
Few bands are able to create a break-up record that ends with marriage, but Oh Wonder have never been like other bands. After completing 22 Break and all the introspection it required of them, Josephine and Anthony were married and used this energy to create 22 Make, the second half of the album that serves as the soundtrack to the light at the end of the tunnel.
