Hailing from Denver, Oh Buddy! is the brand-new indie-pop project from long-term creative partners Chase Bader and Conor Kelly. Collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Nick Lobel, the pair are honing in a fresh new sound characterised by dynamic contemporary pop. Oh Buddy! is also steadily becoming a rising star within the world of sync, with their music, contributing to major brands like Grand Wagoneer and Amazon, and working with sync agency Ghostwriter.
The duo’s debut single is a twinkling dance through dance nostalgia, lacing their unique enthusiasm with retro vibes thanks to the sunny strings, 80s synth melodies and funky guitar grooves. Above all of these sparkling frequencies, comes a heartfelt and catchy vocal that oozes upbeat bounce. As the track comes to a close and the climax of the final chorus fades, listeners are given an insight into a second side of the coin, with the glitter being turned into a dreamy ethereality, perfectly wrapping up a fabulous debut.
Denver-hailing duo, Oh Buddy! is a fresh pop project with a unique sound. Their debut single ‘Wrong Thing’ has now been unveiled to the world, boasting shimmering soundscapes and drenched in high-energy pop nostalgia. Introducing themselves with pounding percussion and grooving bass lines to set the stage for Chase’s captivating lead vocals, the pair then sprinkle the atmosphere with energising electric guitars, glowing synths and illustrious violin melodies. More than anything else, Oh Buddy! manage to achieve wistful familiarity, putting their unique taste to work alongside memorable pop sensibilities.
Chase shares, “Where All Your Ends Just Meet” feels like the closing of one door and the opening of another. During the writing and recording of these songs there was so much change in both my life and Conor’s that was good and bad but led to so much positive change. This EP feels like the first step into a new world for us where there are no ceilings and we get to creatively express our vision for the first time with true freedom. Oh Buddy! is an exciting chapter in our lives that we can’t wait to see who it connects with.”
Conor adds, “Where All Your Ends Just Meet”, is a collection of songs that truly capture Chase and I during some of our most vulnerable moments. From the beginnings of Covid and all the way through the end of last year, we have endured some of life’s highest highs and lowest lows, together. These songs are very special to me in that way, because when I hear them, I can instantly go back to that moment in time and remember just how hard and wonderful life can be. In a lot of ways, listening to these songs feels like watching a movie of the last few years of my life.”
