It’s guys like Brad Oberhofer that James Murphy was singing about in I’m Losing My Edge. “The kids are coming up from behind,” says Murphy. At just 22, Oberhofer’s creating at a level far beyond his years, but he’s no prodigy,  he doesn’t have to be. It’s his effortless blend of  scream-sung lyrics, skip-along whistling, erratic percussion, and unexpected song dynamics that many bands attempt to pull off but can’t because, simply put, they sound forced. Oberhofer’s music feels effortless, his approach genuine, and that’s precisely what draws you in.

Much respect to my boy Phil for the tip.
