OH! Release Debut Album, ‘We Come In Peace’

1 week ago 19

OH!’s 16-track LP blends post-punk, synth-pop, and new wave into a seamless sonic journey featuring Local Suicide, Tareq, Sarah P., and more.

Crafted entirely on analog hardware at Italy’s renowned Elfo Studio without a single sample, We Come In Peace showcases the gritty, real-time electronic production of OH!, comprised of Italian duo Massimo Paramour and Gianluca Pighi. Released via Huldigung Records, the album anchors its diverse sonic landscape with vocals from the producers themselves, elevated by strategic collaborations with new wave and dark disco vocalists that give the record a unified direction.

The album as a whole recalls the atmospheric synth work of Tangerine Dream and the sleek melodies of The Human League, though it never feels stuck in the past. Every sound and vocal choice feels intentional, and the duo consistently push beyond their comfort zone.

From the hypnotic, slow-building “Don’t Give Up” featuring Lavonz to the dreamlike haze of “Inside A Dream” with Tareq, the album thrives on strong collaborations and meticulous production. The title track stands as the emotional centerpiece of the record, carrying its nostalgic weight with understated confidence and bringing a sense of warmth as the album nears its conclusion.

We Come In Peace serves as a tribute to the analog trailblazers who shaped OH!’s sound. Together, Paramour and Pighi strike a balance between raw post-punk intensity and timeless synth-pop sensibilities, grounding the album in both grit and melody. Whether through detached, robotic vocal performances or soaring pop-driven hooks, each featured vocalist deepens the album’s atmosphere and strengthens its overarching narrative.

We Come In Peace is exclusively available on HHV Records, which includes a vinyl bundle edition with extended mixes and unreleased.
