Fair Ohs are set to return with the release of their new album on May 28th through Dream Beach Records. Titled Jungle Cats , the LP was inspired by Carlos Santana and tribal music – tying in with themes present in the cultural hot pocket that was Fair Ohs' debut – 2011's Everything is Dancing . The London trio have already treated us to ' Ya Mustafa ', but the second track to emerge from the forthcoming Jungle Cats record - opening song 'Green Apple Milk' - is a fast paced, glitchy affair overflowing with an in-your-face [...]
After forming at a party four years ago, London's Fair Ohs have been generating hype, most recently with 20112s Summer Is Dancing. Their new LP, Jungle Cats, is out May 28 and will surely continue Fair Ohs' journey as a rising psych band. To give your eyes and ears a little sample of the album, check out [...]

London trio and creators of the best press release known to man , Fair Ohs are to return with a new album this May.

The album's tracklist reads as follows: 1. Green Apple Milk 2. Citric placid 3. Mayan Flex 4. Sleep 5. Panama Red Jets [...]

Fidgety indie-rock trio Fair Ohs return today (March 1st) with news of a second record, Jungle Cats , and a new single 'Ya Mustafa'. The track is supposedly based on the '50s Arabic/French hit of the same name, though almost all resemblance has been washed away via lo-fi indie twangs and synth buzzes – which ends up being no bad thing. It's led by tribal rhythms, pounding away erratically, luring you in like a snakecharmer with ulterior motives. It's apparently inspired by The Eagles and African harp music. The accompanying video features a 21st century Adonis entirely [...]

Recently we featured High Hopes , a side project for the Fair Ohs ' drummer Joe, and now it's time for singer/guitarist Eddy's own hobby, Les Pharaons . Including the free Amandine ( mp3 ), the EP, Opio , features a quartet of short, sexy songs, each sung in French and each a lusty, heady timeport back to the carefree Gallic '60s music. This is the s0-called 'YeYe' style: psychedelic, fun-in-the-sun type stuff from those days of yore. Fans of Fair Ohs' previous Bardot cover should be first in line.

Fair Ohs drummer Joe Ryan decides to embark on second side-project as High Hopes ; does so; first result is fuzzed-out, impossibly chill lounge soul; world rejoices. A five-song EP is out now on Suplex . [youtube J4-fZf32oNs

East London’s Fair Ohs are getting a nice bit of buzz for a couple of reasons. 1. They are releasing their new single, “Salt Flats” on flexi-postcard that could only be played on a turntable. Quite intersting, if you ask me. 2. Their music is damn good. Going the jangly garage rock vibe, the short tune has a lot more of an atmospheric sound than most songs you would hear out of this genre, and that has to be applauded. You can get this little contraption for $6 on their label’s [...]

While the Pharaohs may have dwelt amidst and been ceremoniously embalmed within pyramids planted atop Ancient Egyptian sands, Fair Ohs seem set to build upon Salt Flats, the east London trio's latest single this week released via X-Ray Recordings . Continuing to emulate West African funk while channeling it potently through crackling, nostalgia-flecked psychedelia à la The Cryan Shames, the result is an inebriating and more significantly exhilarating brew of lo-fi jubilation, skin-splitting bongo backdrop and fleeting fretboard trickery from lead vocalist Eddy Frankel. Reminiscent of Bos Angeles were they intent on creating the delectable rather than [...]

Tweet Listen to Fair Ohs ' new song "Salt Flats" below. In September we introduced to one of our favourite new Ones To Watch bands of last year, Fair Ohs , straight outta East London. Their gyratin' take on Garage-Rock looked us square in the eyes and we saw its soul, all colourful and rabid with emotion . Today they released their latest single, [...]

I don't mean to be a prude when I do this, but we all had favourite albums last year, you can't deny that, and I had too many. In fact, so many that I loved that it was difficult to decide between them all, and I had been reading endless 'trendy choice' end-of-year lists before the year had even gone out. So I thought I might deliver some kind of personal justice by posting one that people can sneer at all they want, but might actually pick out something they overlooked and think "Hey, I might actually try that now, [...]
