There are a few Bradley Oberhofers on the cusp of the release of his debut full length album. There was the college student and label intern, so absurdly precocious that his demo songs demanded attention. The cuts were organized cacophony, colliding time signatures and arrangement shifts all thrown against Oberhofer's trademark, tweaking caterwaul. He had just moved from Tacoma, Washington and
Oberhofer, es el proyecto de Brad Oberhofer, un joven de Tacoma, que ahora radica en Brooklyn y que después de sacar un 7" por su cuenta, fue firmado por Glassnote Records con quien sacará su primer LP, Time Capsules II . Aquí está el primer sencillo "HEART", enjoy. ♩ Oberhofer - HEART
I honestly don't know much about Brad Oberhofer - he's someone I've heard talked very highly of, someone associated with the lo-fi indie-rock scene, and now someone who's debut album I am now certainly looking forward to. Having put out a number of singles in 2011, this year will see the release of his debut album Time Capsules II (released March 27th) and likely a growth in popularity and recognition. As soon as "HEART" starts it's evident that Oberhofer has moved on from the guitar led, raucous drum backed style of his earlier [...]
My introduction to Oberhofer came in the form of "Gotta Go" back in August, and I was a little quick to jump on their seemingly out of control hipsterdom back then (all in good fun). The band is gearing up to release their new album on March 27th (under Glassnote Records), and "HEART" has just been released as the first single. I wouldn't hesitate to say that these dudes are in the midst of building a significant fanbase - and I wouldn't be surprised to see them grow exponentially in the next year or so. The music business is generally a [...]
In a recent Progress Report , our T. Cole Rachel spoke with Oberhofer's Brad Oberhofer about the making of his debut LP and the inspirations involved with the project. Mr. Oberhofer, on first love: ... there's some turmoil and eventually heartbreak, and the loss of the naiveté of believing that your first love will be your only. So I learned to enjoy aloneness –- not loneliness but aloneness –- and there are some songs about the importance of it. Not the importance of it but just how I've noticed how beautiful things are out [...]
We first caught wind of Oberhofer when we heard his great cover of Neon Indian's Should Have Taken Acid With You in 2010. Neon Indian must have enjoyed it as much as we did, because shortly there after, Oberhofer was opening a slew of shows for them. Finally, he is prepping his debut full-lenth for release this spring. We got the first of the new album with the orchestral and dramatic track Heart . You can stream it and download below. [...]

Desde que les puse por ahi de Julio algo de Oberhofer por aqui, debo confesar que les fui perdiendo un poco la pista dentro de todas las cosas que fueron apareciendo en la segunda mitad del año, ya saben, algunas tienen entregas mas interesantes que otras y Oberhofer fue de los que en mi biblioteca se fueron quedando poco a poco en el olvido peeeero; el dia de hoy vengo a compartirles algo mas de este proyecto del que recientemente me vengo enterando de que acaban de firmar con Glassnote para editar lo que sera su [...]
Oberhofer has officially gotten the label treatment (as well as a Coachella invite) for his breakout buzz track 'Gotta Go,' a track we featured back in late '11. The single is available now via White Iris and hopefully that means a video is soon to come. Hope so because we simply adore this heartfelt tune and surely you (already do/or will) also. Stream the cut below. Peace love & Brad Oberhofer! Oberhofer - Gotta Go
Name: Oberhofer Progress Report: Indie wunderkind preps debut album for Glassnote Records with production help from Steve Lillywhite. Brad Oberhofer first started making major waves back in 2010 with self-released singles like " Away Frm U " and " Gotta Go ," both of which displayed his knack for combining lyrics that were equal parts clever and earnest with melodic lo-fi guitar sounds (and the occasional toy piano) that could have been recorded in your grandmother's bedroom. Oberhofer and his band recently wrapped recording on their full-length debut album at a tiny studio in [...]
According to his Twitter , Oberhofer has been working furiously on tracks for a yet unnamed album due out early this year. In the meantime, this baby bro dude (he's only 20) hailing from Tacoma, Washington is releasing the single, "Gotta Go" on January 9th via Black Iris. You may remember Oberhofer's 2K10 love anthem "AWY FRM U" that made you simultaneously want to scream and dance and somehow said everything you wanted to tell that musician dude you've been dating for three months that's been ignoring you (...just me?). "Gotta Go" is much along the same lines, with its emotive lyrics like [...]
And so to another year, complete with the same retrodden stock phrases about the industry having shut down for a while, the weather being grim, and the best tunes around being those which take us away from the damp and cloud and back-to-work malaise. January scribblings about music would be utterly lost without them. Thank goodness for the kind people at Cooperative Music , then, who have supplied us with this, the latest pop powerhouse from 20 year old Tacoma, WA native Brad Oberhofer . It's called Gotta Go , it's out via Black [...]
Tweetvaso link While doing some research for a concert preview of the band I wrote up earlier today, I came across this remix from Way Yes and felt it worth mentioning, even if only in passing. Andy first wrote about Way Yes almost exactly one year ago when discussing their track "Johanna." I'm only vaguely...

" I Don't Never Want You To Leave " Already featured on our previously released top 15 songs you should hear now list, we just wanted to give this tune the royal post treatment it deserves! Brooklyn based Oberhofer gives us a gorgeous slice of a indie heart-on-sleeve tune that we just cannot stop playing. Love does that to you sometimes.

[photo by Chris Becker courtesy of Impose Magazine ] On a rainy and dreary October day, with Monster Island padlocked behind it, River Avenue became the makeshift concert spot for a bittersweet celebration of seven years of perhaps the best DIY shows that Brooklyn has ever seen. Monster Island Basement was a venue that we visited often, and recorded everything we saw there. The excellent performances we experienced litter this site. We also presented a show there in the Spring of 2009. As he has for [...]
Género: Pop. El cuarteto de Tacoma se descolgó el 2010 con el EP o0Oo0O0o que les sirvió de palanca ante la audiencia popera indie que no es demasiado ortodoxa. Pues bien, ahora tenemos Gotta Go, un 73 salido el 4 de octubre, que de tan redonda que es, hasta resulta previsible. Quizás sean las capas vocales y estribillos los culpables. Pero bueno, que no suene peyorativo, sin duda alguna, una canción por la que Shazam sacará chispas en las salas de baile averiguando quien de narices [...]
