Oakland-based trio OSLO step back into focus with “Accidental Tourist,” a sweeping and emotionally charged new single featuring Adrian Young. The track anchors their six-song EP ‘The Great Divide’, out now, and carries a cinematic weight that mirrors the band’s journey across time, place, and connection. Built on layered guitars, keys, and a steady pulse, the song captures motion and reflection in equal measure, with Young’s drumming adding a familiar spark and forward momentum. This is the sound of a band reconnecting with its core and pushing it somewhere deeper.
‘The Great Divide’ brings together a close-knit creative circle, with additional drum contributions from Tony Austin, Jonny Cragg, and Reto Peter, who also co-produced and mixed the EP. Recorded in Oakland, the project leans into atmosphere and texture, blending analog pedals and synth programming into immersive soundscapes that feel intimate yet wide open. There is something genuinely energizing about hearing OSLO stretch out again, embracing emotional depth while sounding confident and clear-eyed. The EP plays like a thoughtful reintroduction, rooted in honesty and driven by the joy of making music together again.
