The Danish quintet Oh No Ono harness an epic, chiaroscuro psychedelia, forging it into dazzling gems of otherworldly pop brilliance. The burnished tunes belie an apocalyptic lyrical bent, the combination recalling an even more tripped-out MGMT, Flaming Lips, or Caribou, liberally sprinkled with elements of George Harrison’s Beatles songs, Sparks and the lofty ambition of Kate Bush

Oh No Ono was conceived in Aalborg in 2003, and they are pop stars in their homeland. Danish Radio named them “the breakthrough band of the year” and they have two nominations for the Danish Music Awards behind them – best band and best new artist. Word of mouth from their European festival appearances over the past couple of years set the blogs alight. With the album “Eggs” on The Leaf Label (Friendly Fire in the United States and Morningside Records, Denmark), Oh No Ono have the rest of the world in their sights. A fully booked 2010 kicks off with gigs in London and New York, and a major European tour brings them to the by:Larm. Watch out for Oh No Ono at the summer’s festivals.

“One of the most exciting things I’ve heard in ages. I’m a bit in love truth be told "(NME)

“Big swirling sunshine bubble magic from Denmark” (Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1)

“If Animal Collective can be credited with updating the Mercury Rev / Flaming Lips cosmic-pop template, then Oh No Ono blast it into the Stratosphere on a rocket of precocious talent.” (UNCUT)
