Oh! Pears is Seattle-via-Philadelphia’s Corey Duncan, whose work draws a kaleidoscope of influences from disparate musical worlds (Neutral Milk Hotel, Duke Ellington, Broadcast, Chopin) to create songs with transformative power. An orchestral pop odyssey, the debut full-length Wild Part Of The World (which will be released digitally and on vinyl on September 16th and on CD on October 28th) sounds out the culmination of Duncans musical and personal discoveries from his years spent in his adopted home of Philadelphia. Duncans emotive baritone voice is the narrator and navigator that guides you through the menagerie, floating over sounds that are sometimes strange, sometimes disquieting. Theres a layer of what Duncan likes to call steam psych that settles into your ears through the entire record, seeming to naturally emanate from the hazy strings, the hyper-breathy whistling, and the slightly unplaceable distorted acoustic guitars. A few days before the official launch you can check below to listen to the album track “Under the Olive Trees”, as well as two exclusive extra tunes.
