Oh Bummer! Delivers Empathetic Indie Pop Anthem with "Listen Up"
Los Angeles, CA — Seattle-born, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Tanner Houghton, known by his moniker Oh Bummer!, debuts summer-ready indie pop single “Listen Up” — streaming now on all major platforms.
“Listen Up” by Oh Bummer! serves as the indie pop artist’s second single from his highly anticipated EP, scheduled to drop later in 2023. Produced by legendary trip-hop producer The KickDrums, "Listen Up" exudes an easy and chill vibe, while the lyrics delve into deeply personal territory.
The emotional resonance of "Listen Up" extends beyond Oh Bummer!'s personal experiences, touching on his own journey of self-discovery as a lost, angry, and confused individual. The song serves as a reminder of the healing power of love and support, emphasizing the importance of accepting help in times of darkness.
Oh Bummer! shares, ""Listen Up" an empathetic take on what I know about my late father. He was taken by brain cancer when I was five, and lost the ability to walk long before that. I have memories of him trying with all his might to get up out of his wheel chair and walk, only to hit the ground. He contained multitudes, and seemed to carry so much darkness and light in his heart. Even though he hurt people I love, I stand firm in the belief that love is what heals. This all relates to me and my younger self too - lost, angry, confused. Constantly falling and sinking deeper into that black hole. I needed love and support more than anything, but you can only receive those things if you let them in."
With recent performances supporting Roe Kapara and Bay Ledges in California, Oh Bummer! is excited to continue captivating audiences with his soulful sound. As he gears up for the release of his next EP on independent women-owned California label If This Then Records, expect a captivating blend of indie pop and introspective lyricism.
