about

ooi started out as an online collaboration between three internet friends from Berlin and Munich desiring to make indie pop that ventures off the beaten path. After releasing their first single in 2018, their quirky and distinct sound quickly caught the attention of music platforms around the globe, leading to several single releases with Kitsuné, over a million streams, and features by H&M, Majestic Casual, Nice Guys, and many more.

Leading up to the release of their debut album Good Luck Charms in October 2022 via the Berlin based imprint Majestic Casual Records, ooi are set to release four singles. The second single Ivory will be released on July 15th 2022.

It’s a song about missing someone deeply and the despair that can result from that: “No escaping this feeling / It tends to cling to me / Not asking for much / I just want to be near you”. While grounded by a repeating, mantra-like vocal melody and punchy backbeat, a dazzling flourish of synths and textures weave themselves in and out while a playful bassline hops around as if barefoot on hot sand.

This balancing of opposites is a leitmotif on Good Luck Charms. The trio was forced to return to their workflow from their very first days, sharing demos remotely. What seemed like an obstacle at first soon turned out to allow them to dive deeper into the little details of their songwriting, refining sounds and production workflows. After being isolated from another for some time, they took their demos to a barn in Tuscany as soon as they could get back together. Setting up their studio in the sunny hills near Lucca sparked the warm and blissful ideas for Good Luck Charms - which we all need more than ever.

Fun facts: ooi is pronounced “oh-wee” and always releases in accordance with the lunar calendar — expect new releases with the coming New and Full Moons.

lyrics

Living the quiet life, I rarely roll the ivory dice
You’ve got no clue how much I really seem to miss you
Not asking for much, I just want to be near you
You’ve got no idea how much I have been missing you
Not asking for much, I just want to be near you
No escaping this feeling it tends to cling to me
Not asking for much, I just want to be near you (every now and then / near you)
