Soaked
Oats are
a young four-piece band hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand who have been
described as "a southern stew of Kurt Vile and Mac DeMarco with a
good shake of Kevin Morby".
Coming to notoriety for writing songs about stoned fruit (
Avocado
Aficionado,
I'm a Peach), 60+ good-time live shows in a year including
a blinder set at Rhythm
& Vines 2017/18, and releasing three e.p.s in their
short 18 month existence.
The band is made up of lead vocalist Oscar
Mein who scribes the clever, witty and thoughtful
observations on life. And fruit. Guitarist, Henry Francis and
his amazing pedal-board is on the noble path to tone mastery making the
instrument sound like it was made by unicorns. Rhythm section Max Holmes (bass) and Conor
Feehly (drums) provide the backbone, the funk and keep the
party going.
For
the uninitiated, we invite you to dip your ears and eyes into the chilly
southern land of Soaked
Oats and their music video for
Gum-15.
