Oso Oso Announce Album on Mark Quinlan’s New Label

Long Island emo band Oso Oso have revealed their forthcoming album titled An Exchange of Information. The eagerly awaited record will be released on November 6, marking the first release on Feral Twin, the freshly established record label spearheaded by Hop Along's Mark Quinlan. Coupled with the announcement, the band has unveiled the cover art, showcasing an adorable giraffe, and offered a sneak peek into the lead single "Know You Know Me Better."

Mark Quinlan, the mastermind behind Feral Twin, delved into the inception of the label in a press statement. He detailed his extensive experience in the industry as a musician, agent, talent buyer, tour organizer, and booking agent. Quinlan explained that Feral Twin emerged from his aspiration to construct a purposeful platform where each release holds significance.

He emphasized that he is not focused on merely releasing records to meet a schedule. Instead, he aims for Feral Twin to serve as a nurturing ground for music and concepts that genuinely resonate with him, backed by artists he values deeply. By doing so, he intends to provide these works with the utmost care and attention they deserve.

Oso Oso's last studio album, Life Till Bones, was released in 2024. In the coming months, the band will embark on a North American tour in the fall, commencing in October and concluding in November. Jade Lilitri, the frontman, will be accompanied on stage by Leisure Hour and Bad Luck during the East Coast leg, while Liquid Mike and Bugsy will join the tour on the West Coast. An Exchange of Information has been recognized with a notable spot at No. 70 in The 100 Best Songs of 2022.
