Melbourne duo Oscar & Martin prove that sometimes less is more. Emerging from the leftovers of indie pop band Psuche, Martin King and Oscar V Slorach-Thorn’s minimalist pop drifts along on a sea of delicate crooning, bleeping keyboards and driving percussion. It’s honest. It’s stripped-back. It’s a bit like James Blake or Panda Bear and is bound to come tugging on your heartstrings. Their debut album For You is out now. Pick up a copy now so that you can brag to your friends that you knew who they were before they became the next big thing.

I saw them perform at the Meredith Music Festival this year and they were a highlight. Be sure to catch them when they stop near you. They’re currently on the road for their What I Know tour.
