Listen to “Baraboo” from Oshwa’s debut album
Chicago’s Oshwa has consistently defied expectations during its short existence. Over the course of several self-released digital EPs the group has carved a place for itself by taking jazz inspirations, attaching them to an indie-rock backbone, and tying it all together with melodic trappings. The band’s first full-length, Chamomile Crush, is due out Aug. 8 on Naked Ally Records, and The A.V. Club has an exclusive stream of the album track “Baraboo.”
