Stripping back their guitar & pedal heavy setup for a Best Fit Session proved to be no problem for Iceland’s Oyama.
We met the five-strong band in Brighton last month and took them onto the windy beach where they cut a foreboding take on scuzzy track ‘The Garden’.
The band are currently holed up in Reykjavík, writing towards their debut LP but there’s a self-released EP - I Wanna – out now.
