Obsolete Media Objects Oakland, California
OMO is a label focusing on stunning physical media.
Although Mp3s are available here, every release is a
tangible object which we hope will enhance the experience of the music. These albums are meant to live on tape, or vinyl, or book, or pez dispenser, or something we hope will be as aesthetically stimulating as the music it conveys.
Coming soon:
OMO053 - hollowbodies
OMO055 - Big Bill Broonzy

Little Warrior

Eleanor's 2013 album is here on OMO, but you should really check out her previous albums too. They're all good, but why not start with this passionate and incisive gem of a record, "Little Warrior".

by Andrew Weathers Ensemble
Andrew was involved with the very first OMO release, "This Voice Saying These Words", a split with CJ Boyd. Here is a sublime Ensemble album, precise yet not stuffy, and loose without being messy.
