Introducing an amazing duo known as the Oshima Brothers consisting of Jamie and Sean they pleasantly resist the rock cliché of brothers who feud and fight. While the two admit they don’t always see eye-to-eye, their creative partnership is overwhelmingly positive–from the wonderful way their voices harmonize and their overlapping musical taste to having someone who has had your back for your entire life.“It’s every musician’s dream to work with a brilliant and multifaceted as Jamie, he makes my job easy,” Sean states. Music has always been a central part of the brothers’ lives. Their parents performed folk songs and encouraged their sons to make music too. The brief recording that opens Dark Nights was done on a cassette deck their parents gave Sean and Jamie when they were young. Sean jokes that their band started when younger brother Jamie was born, and he is not far off. Jamie picked up a guitar when he was six and, by age 10, declared he was going to be a musician forever. Jamie’s early attraction to music led him to learn to play several instruments and produce music. A self-described introvert, Jamie also did all of this at home. When Sean began writing songs in his teens, they started making music together. “It was natural. Completely organic” Jamie explains. While they played live shows, it was only after they made their first album that they realized “oh, we’re a band!” “It really felt that it all came together during the process of making the album,” Sean elaborates. “We had this music to share that people could hold.”Their first album contained a dozen folky tunes that Sean had written, so Jamie’s production focused on stripped-down, rootsy arrangements and their brotherly harmonies. Since their first full-length, however, the ever-prolific duo has put out a series of releases–several stand-alone singles (“Wild Caves,” “Online”) and two EPs (Under The Same Stars, Sunset Red)–that chart their musical growth from its Americana-leaning beginnings to their ever-evolving eclectic sound. With the release of their newest single “Disco Down The Aisle”, they project a cheery sound that will certainly intrigue your ears. Beginning with bright instrumentation leading onto their sweet and ear-catching vocals they complete the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it’s about having a little fun while shopping for your groceries, enjoying the excitement of cooking up a meal, hanging with friends, or doing whatever makes you happy. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have you dancing. Being just perfect for a day out on the beach or hanging out with some friends. Go stream “Disco Down The Aisle” and check out their discography which is filled with astounding music.
