The Norwegian quintet, Major Ouf, have unveiled their debut EP, Big Moves n’ Major Oufs, leading us on a voyage of self-acceptance and love, woven through a captivating blend of genres. But does it meet the expectations? Let’s delve into this sonic odyssey and discover the answer!
Consisting of seven tracks, this EP builds upon the group’s established sound while introducing some refreshing elements. Setting the tone with an upbeat vibe, the instrumental opener “!!” serves as a perfect teaser, seamlessly transitioning to the next track, Focus. This tune maintains the lively rhythm of its predecessor, blending UK house and disco influences. It provides a stark contrast to lead singer Marie’s exploration of insecurities about her talent and self-worth.
Moving on, we encounter the track that propelled the band into the spotlight, 2close4comfort. This composition captivates listeners with its infectious grooves and lush synth textures, blurring the boundary between catchy hooks and captivating production.
A consistent feature of this EP is its profound lyrical introspection, exemplified in the single face2face. The lyrics delve into themes of self-reflection and the struggle to maintain self-recognition. Instrumentally, the track is enhanced by its chilled house arrangements, culminating in a breathtaking display of 80s-inspired guitar work.
Serving as a gratifying midpoint in the EP, the track Elevate fulfils its promise, lifting listeners to delightful auditory heights with its infectious funky guitar riffs.
Following suit, 4walls ventures into a different sonic realm, embracing a more minimalistic melody that eschews intricate instrumentals in favour of a raw, evolving groove with hints of hip-hop influence. The tempo slows, allowing Marie’s verse-like vocal delivery to take centre stage.
Concluding this vibrant EP is Godsend, not only their second single but also one of their most captivating tracks. Marie’s velvety vocals glide softly, creating a soothing atmosphere as the song unfolds from the perspective of a broken individual striving for love.
Lively, emotionally charged, and immensely enjoyable, Big Moves n’ Major Oufs is a delightful treat.
This EP excels at captivating its audience. With honest songwriting, memorable production, visually striking artwork, and above all, a band radiating passion and dedication to their art. There’s every reason to pause and give this record the attention it deserves!
