North London indie-pop maestro Oscar reveals new single "Breaking My Phone"
With a crackling static-backed bassline slugging along and jangly offbeat chords, Oscar's latest effort is a supremely chilled out cut - despite its far less chilled sentiments. Even when the chorus erupts around Oscar's signature baritone, it's less vicious barrage and more euphoric ecstasy.
The single will be released by Wichita on 20 November.
