Dear Wormwood

The Oh Hellos

Mythic indie folk that builds from intimate sibling harmonies into thunderous, orchestral celebrations. A literary, forest-dwelling record of defiance and grace.

It sounds like a bunch of forest spirits decided to start a folk-rock band to process their trauma.

A mythic struggle between darkness and light that ends in a triumphant, communal roar.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition in the title track where the acoustic strumming gives way to a thunderous, distorted orchestral wall of sound.
The rhythmic, medieval-inflected stomp of Soldier, Poet, King that feels like a village gathering for a prophecy.
The haunting, quiet vocal interplay during Exeunt that captures the intimacy of a sibling bond.
