(2015) The Oh Hello's - Dear Wormwood
Review:
The Oh Hellos began with a brother and a sister writing a silly song about memories for their mother, but with a beloved EP and a rapidly spreading full-length under their belts, the new release of their album Dear Wormwood marks the continuing development of so much more.
Dear Wormwood acts as a volume II to Through the Deep, Dark Valley. While Through the Deep, Dark Valley is about the protagonist’s past, Dear Wormwood is about the character’s future. The duo explains, “This album is a collection of letters, all written by a single protagonist and addressed to a single recipient, a conversation to which the listener is an observer as a relationship gone wrong reaches its breaking point – the words and music are at times affectionate and bittersweet
at others resigned and resolute.” All songs written by Maggie and Tyler Heath, with the exception of Danse Macabre, written by Camille Saint-Saens (Public Domain). Produced by Maggie and Tyler Heath.
