After a string of rambunctious critically acclaimed singles Oscar releases his hotly anticipated debut LP 'Cut and Paste' on Wichita Recordings Immersed in music right from the start of his life both at home his parents fronted the pop band The Regents his father went on to produce early Acid House records as well asin the musical hotpot that was his native North West London 'Cut and Paste' is a heady melange of the many musical styles Oscar Scheller absorbed growing up You can hear the clear influence of a West London upbringing in the bashment rhythm of 'Be Good' or the dub bassline and echo of the anthemic uplifting 'Good Things' You're hit by the boombap breakbeat of his beloved mid90s hip hop on 'Breaking My Phone' and 'Beautiful Words' before swooning to his more tender side on 'Only Friend' where Oscar is joined by Marika Hackman for a gorgeous duet over a sea of bubbling synths or 'Fifteen' an addictive love song ragged at the edges and wearing its heart defiantly on its sleeve Despite the wide range of influences on display the album is unified by Scheller's beautiful baritone vocal and his keen ear for a melody And although selfproduced the resulting album by no means contains the average lofi crackly sound one might expect from someone tagged as a 'bedroom producer' Choosing the strongest songs from the demos that originally attracted Wichita to his music Scheller set about rerecording the vast majority of the elements at home not missing the opportunity to step into a proper studio to add live drums played by his drummer Aramis Gorriette alongside his own drum machine programming and sampled breaks for the first time These new recordings were then passed on to Ben Baptie Adele Mark Ronson Lianne La Havas Albert Hammond Jr etc to be mixed and to have the dubinfluence turned up further with the subtle echo effects that you can hear throughout if you listen carefully Overall 'Cut and Paste' is the sound of a new musical prodigy well and truly arriving and a more than worthy addition to the lineage of eccentric classic British pop LP With Download
