O, I was born disco
But then the weights came
Like so much rain
From endless expanses
To numbered avenues
Never having a clue
Always 2 steps up and 2 steps down
I had never called it indie
It was only a melody
And a dancing beat
But O what it meant to me, messages sent to me
In codes I would never have tried to pretend I know
Immortality bestowed by posterity
I will sing my heart out til it's on my sleeve
I was born disco, but...
Like a MacArthur?
Or a Patton on the playground
Say you were just fooling around
So you could be kind to me
Or you could be blind to me
But spare me the humanity
I never called it indie
It was only a melody
And a dancing beat
But O what it meant to me, messages sent to me
In codes I would never have tried to pretend I know
Immortality bestowed by posterity
But give me a waltz or a mixtape of schmaltz
Like a father figure who'll be home for dinner
I will sing my heart out til it's on my sleeve
All of my senses before my intelligence
Four on the floor til my heart beats no more
I was born disco, but now I....I don't know

A meticulously crafted sonic journey, a record that rewards careful attention with a seemingly endless string of surprises from song to song. No Moniker
It is very difficult to make an interesting ambient soundscape, and it's also very difficult to make a good pop song. I don't know how you're supposed to do both at the same time but OMW manages it! No Moniker
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
Subsonic Eye combines math rock, dream pop, and guitar sounds borrowed from post-rock for songs that whirl and flurry, but never quite settle. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 15, 2023
More easy, breezy, effortless indie pop from Australian duo Deuce, infused with folk-rock warmth and dream-pop glitter for textural oomph. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2021
