(lyrics below). literally, every song they put out, i love. their new album is out now! http://apple.co/1igTOBc
"The Wedding Present may seem an unlikely influence for softly-softly electropop duo Oh Wonder. But Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West have followed the indie band’s example, releasing a song per month for a year – though, true to the times, they opted for Soundcloud uploads rather than the Wedding Present’s seven-inch singles in 1992. The results make up this debut, which may sound familiar not only because you could have already heard 13 of its 15 songs online but also because Oh Wonder’s breathy synthpop starts to collapse into mind-numbing, mid-tempo fluff about halfway through. Gucht and West make little use of their voices, choosing to harmonise in octaves that add to the album’s monotony, and on Landslide recall a boy-girl Postal Service. Lose It, with its Banks-like jazzy chords, is a rare saving grace, while Dazzle shows some production flair. Kudos to the duo for attempting a novel release model, one with more ingenuity than the music itself."

[Verse 1]
Made a home in a basement
Didn't think that I'd need the light
Cause all these plans I've been making
Get me out of here in time
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
[Chorus]
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know
We'll be scraping the skies with out fingertips
Screaming "This is the life, we were born for this"
See I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
[Verse 2]
I've got a hope in the headlights
Stood still but I'm feeling fine
Cause all these plans I've been making
Will get me out of here in time
[Pre-Chorus]
But it's always two steps backwards
Too much gravity to feel the highs
And all these plans I've been chasing
Getting caught up and wasted
I don't know where the money goes
I get broke as the city glows
Shines bright as I sink down low
Down low
[Chorus]
But I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Gonna build a paper plane to float to you
You know, don't you know
We'll be scraping the skies with out fingertips
Screaming "This is the life, we were born for this"
See I've got plans to get to you
You know, don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
[Outro]
Don't you know
You know, you know, you know x10000
