Austin, TX, twee pop trio Oh No! Oh My! are not quite as precious as their faux-naïve name suggests, but they do come close, favoring a blend of acoustic guitars and vintage keyboards that recalls Belle & Sebastian, Of Montreal, and all those '80s U.K. bands inspired by Young Marble Giants. Singers and songwriters Greg Barkley and Daniel Hoxmeier (who between them also play guitar, bass, banjo, various keyboards, and percussion) and drummer Joel Calvin first formed in their hometown of Austin, TX, in 2005 under the band name "the Jolly Rogers," which they quickly abandoned when it became clear that several other bands had already laid claim to the name.
