The Ocelots + Louella Jade Eke

The Ocelots’ UK tour – celebrating their acclaimed second album, Everything, When Said Slowly – highlights the twins’ rich blend of folk, indie and rock. 

Twin brothers, Ashley and Brandon Watson from Wexford, Ireland, explore themes of Irish migration, the perception of time, love and the simple joys of cycling through their music.

Blood harmonies are the centre of The Ocelots’ sound – the imperfections of a voice breaking or a tempo shifting. The twins blend absurdity and sincerity in an array of literature-inspired musings. Their imagery is very much urban, living outside of the romanticised world of cottage-core nostalgia.

Reviews

Steeped in classic singer-songwriter Americana, invoking everyone from vintage Neil Young to Sufjan Stevens.

Uncut

Blending folk, indie and rock with confidence – a melancholic undercurrent of country-folk adds to its allure.

Songlines

Rich in spellbinding harmonies, The Ocelots 'second album... takes indie-folk in a compelling new direction.... an impressively honest and poignant piece of work.
