...according to our Phil on Thu 01 May, 2008.
Oppenheimer release a new 7" on Fantastic Plastic called 'Look Up'. Their album came out a while back on Smalltown America but Fantastic Plastic picked it up and if you ignored the reissue and you're not sure then maybe this 7" is a fun place to start. Hugely energetic indie rock which reminds me Ash when Charlotte Hatherley was involved. Well limited this one apparently 'n all...‘Look Up’ / ‘The Never Never’ is a double A-side taken from
Oppenheimer’s forthcoming new album. ‘The Never Never’ features guest
vocalist Matt Caughtran from US band The Bronx.
Oppenheimer’s music
was recently featured on US comedy dramas ‘Ugly Betty’ and ‘Gossip
Girl’. The band have recently shared stages with names like Tilly and
The Wall, Architecture In Helsinki, Regina Spektor, Hot Chip and
supported They Might Be Giants on a giant 50 date stateside tour.

a fizzing flying saucer scanning Planet Haribo” – NME. "A sumptuous

at its most sublime, the soundtrack to a neon fantasy world where
everything is shiny, it's gorgeous, gorgeous music that has universal
appeal” - Music OMH. "Oppenheimer songs have the feel of summers gone
by, of skinny-dips and moonlight gallivants and sprinkler jumps and
first crushes" – Alternative Ulster. “Pop disco for electro punks” –
