CMU Approved
Approved: Oh No Ono – Swim
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 17 November 2009
Danish psychedelic epicists (yeah, that’s a word) Oh No Ono return next February with a new album, ‘Eggs’, and the first single from it, ‘Swim’, was released last week. Initially unsure of the track, I replayed it over and over again to try to work out if I liked it or not. Eventually, I realised I was playing it not though lack of an opinion, but because I’d fallen in love with it. A simple song, lifted by string-drenched orchestral bursts, it bodes very well for the rest of the album. I’d tell you to go and listen to it on MySpace, but the garish design of their profile is a bit of an assault on the eyes. Instead, check out the video, in which the song soundtracks the confused sexual fantasies of a child.
