Oh Wonder

Oh Wonder

• Oh Wonder are London-based duo Anthony and Josephine

There is a sign pinned to the wall of Oh Wonder s recording studio in south London, a pact of sorts, signed by the band s two members, Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West, in the winter of 2012. <br><br> We wrote it to say that we re dependent on one another, explains Vander Gucht. That there are things we want to achieve, and we can help each other get there. <br><br>She reads out the sign, a four-line list of the pair s musical ambitions: We have a publishing deal off the back of writing incredible songs ; We are in-demand songwriters, respected for our art ; We feel that anything is possible and live the yes life ; Music earns us an amazing living and we travel the world thanks to it. <br><br>That Oh Wonder have achieved all of these ambitions in the space of just two and a half years is testament to their talent and their perseverance, but even they seem a little startled by how much more they have attained: the 20 million plays on Soundcloud, the recording contract with Universal, and now their debut album, Oh Wonder , a collection of 15 impeccably-crafted songs that explore London and loneliness, love and the need for human relationships.
