“This album deserves all the praise it will undoubtedly receive” Notion 
“A direct, powerful work” Clash 
“A welcome reminder of O Children’s doomy aesthetic” The Fly

Following on from storming Land of Kings and Camden Crawl shows, O Children are pleased to announce their first single 'Chimera' from their new album will be released 11th June. This is taken from their forthcoming sophomore album 'Apnea'.

‘Chimera’ – the album’s closing track – is a delicately, propulsive track that showcases O Children’s talent for writing compelling, dramatic pop songs that are accentuated by frontman Tobi O’ Kandi’s sonorous vocals.

Taking in krautrock, garage rock, post-punk and West Coast melodies, 'Apnea’ – due June 4th through Deadly People - represents a distinct new chapter in their career, O’ Kandi has taken production influences from a variety of genres and their sound has richly developed from their 2010 debut.

The album also represents the culmination of over 2 years of torturous travails as O’Kandi found himself “essentially stateless, stuck here, a prisoner in England”.

Having played a string of warm up dates for Vice in March, O Children have announced their first full live performances in over 12 months. The quartet will headline Hoxton Bar & Kitchen for their album launch 4th June and will also be playing The Great Escape before making their debut on European shores later this summer.
