Oscar Lang's songs that get my brain whizzing playlist, feat. Sunflower Bean, Post Animal, The Feeling and more

Oscar Lang is a funny chap. Following on from his debut EP 'bops etc.' (there was no etc, it was all bops), released in June last year, he's back with a new 'un - 'Overthunk', out today via Dirty Hit. It's a bit more low-key and introspective than the first, and, with songs like 'Flowers', 'January Leaves' and 'Feeling Like A Rose', appears to have been largely inspired by foliage. To celebrate, he's done us a topical playlist featuring "songs that get my brain whizzing" - including cuts from Sunflower Bean, Post Animal, The Feeling and more. Give it a listen below. Andy Shauf - Thirteen Hours Beautiful track by the king of the sad-boys off his latest album, Andy Shauf is a huge inspiration to me as a songwriter and was a big influence in Overthunk

Katy J Pearson - Tonight Stumbled across this tune after seeing a gig by the band Lazarus Kane of which Katy is a band member. Amazing tune, love her voice.

Ariel Pink - Another Weekend Another huge inspiration to me as a songwriter, this tune by Ariel Pink is too sick. The reverby synths and chilled out guitar were huge influences on tracks from ‘Overthunk’ like ‘January Leaves’ and over the whole record
