oso oso is an American rock band from Long Beach, New York. The band is led by Jade Lilitri (vocals, guitar), formerly of State Lines. oso oso is releasing Basking in the Glow, its first LP with Triple Crown Records and a massive musical leap forward. Past oso oso songs were written around spare parts of all kinds — a riff, a loose verse, even a bridge — but the new set centers on warm, horizon-filling choruses. 

 

Before it reaches Side B, Basking reveals the best choruses Lilitri has ever written (take your pick between "The View," the title track, and "dig") and by album's end, a moving, second-gen response to Saves the Day's Stay What You Are or Death Cab For Cutie's The Photo Album. These are guitar-driven indie albums whose snapshot sentimentality invites reflection and repeat listens rather than nostalgia playlists (or for real 2000s heads, Straylight Run's self-titled or the Early November's The Room's Too Cold). Likewise, Basking in the Glow intends to stick around.  -Billboard

The excellent album from the Long Island singer-songwriter Jade Lilitri is sharp and radiant, a massively catchy guitar record about trying to walk the straight and narrow. -Pitchfork “dig (II)” presents a crisp, muscular yet gently sighing version of indie rock. “Yeah, there’s this hole in my soul,” Jade Lilitri sings. “How far do you wanna go?” By the time the track reaches its climax, gorgeous harmonies are crying out, “I’m still reeling from the mess I made!” Forgive me for this, but: If you dig the Sidekicks, you might dig “dig (II)” too because it’s oso pretty. -Stereogum

oso oso’s lead single is titled dig (II), a slow, melancholic tune, that, like most oso songs, offers a satisfying climax for the finale. The band stick to the beach-y sound that felt integral in their latest album, which makes sense given that founder and frontman Jade Lilitri is native to south shore city Long Beach. -Kerrang

Why did Jade Lilitri, the Long Island, New Yorker behind one-man wonder-band oso oso, play and sing the chorus of his song “dig” only once during its four-and-a-half-minute running time? To understand the question, you have to appreciate the magnificence of that chorus. It comes in the middle of “dig,” bookended on the front end by a couple minutes of enjoyable pop-rock that bumps along like Pinback and on the back end by a coda that crescendos nicely, but ultimately feels unnecessary. In between is 34 glorious seconds in which the song opens up and turns its face toward the sun, bringing together peach-fuzz distortion, a reliable chord progression, a blanket of cymbals and Lilitri’s soaring vocals. “I’m still reeling from the mess I made,” he sings, as if rediscovering reality after two verses of cautious optimism. The combination of contrasting sounds and catchy melody is the stuff goosebumps are made of. -Paste
