PRESENTED BY NICK STUBBLEFIELD

OYLS was conceived on an Amtrak train somewhere along the hour-and a half stretch between Davis and Berkeley California. David Kirshenbaum, the taller half of the OYLS duo, proudly recalls, "Michael had just suffered a break-up and so it was the perfect time to convince him to get back into music." Some tears, several glasses of scotch, and one all-nighter later, "Dots and Dashes" was born and what started as a therapeutic jam session, soon revealed itself to be the creation of an entirely new sound. OYLS seamlessly blends the writing ethic of rock, soul and motown with a rhythmic backbone that draws from a 21st century electronic landscape. Drawing comparisons to James Blake, Alt-J, and Disclosure, OYLS finds itself at a new frontier of electronic music, and lends a melodic and lyrical vulnerability to a genre that is too often poetically terse.

Although OYLS may be difficult to classify,their music radiates an artistic passion that can only stem from a deep love for music. Michael Lipp and David Kirshenbaum have truly wagered everything to follow their passion. Michael, a recent graduate, was on contract to pursue a career in China, and David, a Berkeley junior was pursuing a major in rhetoric, as the duo found themselves derailed by a combined sound that felt too new and important to leave unexplored.
