With Or Without You: London duo Oh Wonder announce North American tour

Oh Wonder have a pretty interesting distinction: The London-based electronic pop duo racked up 13 million plays on Soundcloud before ever setting foot on stage, posting one song per month over the course of the past year in order to cultivate a pure, organic following that was built solely on their music.

“The whole thing was set up with no marketing approach, in fact,” Josephine Vander Gucht tells Digital Journal, who along with Anthony West make up Oh Wonder. “It was a self-imposed project to be creative and put music out, and to set hard deadlines for us on releasing each song at the end of the month. In hindsight it was a brilliant way to establish ourselves and create momentum and build an excited and eager following.”

The approach paid off. And now after releasing their self-titled debut LP in September, a compilation of all the previous “singles,” and riding the success of standout track “Without You,” Oh Wonder are finally taking to the stage. This week they announced an 11-date North American tour that wraps up with a Communion party January 30 at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston.
