The music of Adelaide artist Anth Wendt, who performs and records under the moniker Oisima, is difficult to quantify. Artfully bridging the gap between electronica and jazz, Anth’s crafts immersive, intricate and emotionally-charged soundscapes that situate him with the best and most exciting producers working in Australia right now.

This is best felt on ‘Lovin’ You Was Easy’, his brand new single that arrives after a year-long hiatus from making music. The track is beautifully arranged, filled by with dreamy, downtempo beats, quiet piano, propulsive horns and the lush, evocative vocals of Sydney-based singer Wallace, which anchor the track. “I saw Wallace play a show around the time of writing this song and fell in love with her voice and stage presence” says Anth. Every instrument on the song was played and recorded by
Anth himself.

The song is about emerging from a difficult relationship and rediscovering yourself in the process. “‘Lovin You Was Easy’ is about reclaiming one’s mind, body and spirit after not being in such a good place. It’s a reflection of the personal journey people take, and how incredible it feels to be on the sunnier side after being in a dark place” says Anth.

The full album will feature a host of talent including Jimetta Rose, Jace XL, Cazeaux Oslo, Nelson Dialect,Tom Scott, Abbey Howlett, plus many, many more.
