About Oh Wonder

Oh Wonder is a London-based writing duo comprised of Anthony West and Josephine Vander Gucht.

The duo originally came to light under the name “Wonder Wonder” which they changed after posting two songs on their Soundcloud page. A band with a similar name suggested that they change their name, but the two insisted on keeping their favorite word “wonder” as a part of their stage name.

Josephine and Anthony first met in 2011. Coming together was natural — at the time, Josephine had been pursuing a solo project and Anthony was wrapped up in former alternative rock band Futures‘ world. The duo’s songwriting kicked off soon after, and for several years they wrote songs for fun. In the midst of a trip to Amsterdam together, they conceived the idea for their collaborate project inspired by James Blake and Sigur Rós.

According to Anthony, they do everything together since then:

[We’re] really in tune with each other because we’ve been working together for so long.

In September of 2014, they began releasing one song on the first of each month, which would last for an entire year. A quote by Josephine from an interview with VICE:

The whole project started as a songwriting exercise because we’d been writing together for a while and had never done anything with our songs. We wrote “Body Gold” and thought, “Hey, let’s put it out ourselves,” keep it as a side project and set ourselves a deadline every month to release another song. That way we had to write 13 songs. It wasn’t a marketing plan.

As of August 2015, the duo racked up over 13.5 million plays on Soundcloud, and hadn’t performed live together until their first at BBC Radio 1 in the same month. Unheard of? Oh Wonder was released on September 4th, 2015, featuring all of the previous releases and several new tracks.

Oh Wonder’s sophomore album Ultralife dropped on July 14, 2017, and peaked at #76 on Billboard 200. Following the success of Ultralife, they performed at Coachella in 2017.
