Photo Gallery: Oh Wonder - O2 Academy Brixton, London 21/05/2022
Oh Wonder started their world tour this month - providing previews of their new album ’22 Make’ - which is out this July via Island Records.
Introduced in beguiling style by first single ‘Magnificent’, ’22 Make’ is the surprise second half of alt-pop duo Oh Wonder’s ’22 Break’ project. Its first half dropped with little warning towards the end of 2021, unpicking a turbulent period in the band’s incredible story: here were universal themes (loneliness, inadequacy, resentment, fears for the future) as experienced by one couple in real-time, all blown up in the pandemic. Not many bands can make a break-up album that culminates in them tying the knot - but then again, Oh Wonder have never been like other bands. Coming out of ‘22 Break’ and all the soul-searching that it forced them to do, Josephine and Anthony got married and channelled all this into '22 Make': a whole new album soundtracking the light at the end of a tunnel, and realising despite everything – ‘Fuck It I Love You.’
We sent our photographer James Baker to capture all the action when they headline the O2 Academy Brixton this week.
