“Self-aware, witty folk rock”
Oh My Land is an eclectic folk band whose debut album, If God Gave Me a Cannon, dives into the playful imagination of six young musicians from California. The band plays effortlessly and the lyrics are clever. If you took away the music on the opening track, “Climbing Up a Tree to Get My Peach,” you’d be left with the simple melody of a nursery rhyme. Add the music back in and it brings fresh life to a simple tune. The lyrics on the opening track, as well as the rest of the album, are sharp and hit you with continuous memorable one-liners. On “Sell Out,” the group’s harmonic wit is in full force with lines like, “All we wanted was to create something that we could sell,” which is quickly followed by “If I sold out right now, I wouldn’t make a dime.” If God Gave Me A Cannon is an album full of songs that are based around the acoustic guitar and the ingenious lyrics that can at times outshine the music. If the album was nothing more than that – the guitar and the voice– I would be satisfied. But the rest of the group adds so much flavor that transforms these simple tunes into artistic expressions.
