OH PEP! ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM I WASN’T ONLY THINKING ABOUT YOU... OUT OCTOBER 26TH ON ATO FIRST SINGLE “WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH DAVID” OUT TODAY ON TOUR THIS FALL INCLUDING LOS ANGELES ON OCTOBER 9 & BROOKLYN OCTOBER 25!

“Their pop sensibilities offer more twists and turns than the usual ‘verse/chorus’ formula, but there are still big, catchy hooks. It's just that those hooks seem to happen after you've taken a journey through a story, so the hook sinks much deeper and offers a kind of emotional relief.” - NPR “The duo's humorous lyrics and off-beat instrumentation make for some very catchy tunes” - WXPN “the independent music scene is currently booming in the Oceanic continent. Notable artists like Lorde, Flume, Courtney Barnett, etc. all call Australia and New Zealand their home, and Oh Pep! adds another name to the list.” - Paste WATCH / LISTEN TO "WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH DAVID" HERE

Melbourne, Australia’s Oh Pep! are back with their sophomore effort, I Wasn’t Only Thinking About You..., out October 26th on ATO Records. Today, the duo share the first single and accompanying music video for the track, “What’s The Deal With David” directed by Samantha Scaffidi. Of the bright, irresistible sing-along track, Oh Pep!’s Olivia Hally’s notes, “I wrote that as a note for (bandmate) Pepi (Emmerichs). It’s that excited energy about two friends talking about their love life.” Oh Pep! will be out on tour throughout North America, Australia and Europe with both headlining dates and dates supporting Gregory Alan Isakov and Middle Kids. I Was Only Thinking About You will be released digitally on CD and on vinyl and can be pre-ordered today. I Wasn’t Only Thinking About You... marks the follow up to Oh Pep!’s critically acclaimed debut Stadium Cake. The return at once captures their spirit, their curiosity, their imminent likability. Throughout, the new LP thoughtfully explores the melody-rich expanse between indie pop and alt-folk, while coming of age and seeing the world. The duo burst first onto the scene with with a series of EP’s that caught the attention of legendary artists and critics alike. NPR called them "thoughtful, deep, funny, and poetic," and appearance “Tiny Desk” netted them a dedicated and passionate audience stateside that has continued to grow. The New York Times marveled at how adept they were at "sharing a melody that's both angular and affectionate." Since meeting at a performing arts school in Melbourne, Liv and Pep have wowed audiences with their virtuosity as instrumentalists but it’s their storytelling that has won over the hearts of their fans. Being thrust into a life of touring the world after Stadium Cake only gave them a wider pool to net these tales - the people they’ve met and the wonder they’ve felt seeing the world make up the vignettes on I Wasn’t Only Thinking About You... Oh Pep! Will tour North America and Europe throughout the fall in support of I Wasn’t only Thinking About You…. Leg one kicks off in San Francisco on October 6th in support of Gregory Allen Isakov and includes headlining dates at World Cafe Live in Philly, U Street Music Hall in DC and Rough Trade in Brooklyn.
