Oh No Ono was a Grammy-nominated quintet from Aalborg, Denmark. The band was formed in 2003 by Kristoffer Rom (drums), Aske Zidore (guitar, vocals, samples), Kristian Olsen (keyboards, etc.) and Malthe Fischer (vocals, guitar and samples).
Oh No Ono released an EP (Now You Know Oh No Ono) in February 2005 and has since then been a highly influential band on the Danish music scene.
On their debut album Yes, the band, which has grown from 4 to 5 members since its beginning (with the addition of Nis Svoldgaard on bass), mixed old virtues with a modern sound and production, creating a mix of alternative pop, electroclash, funk and new wave. The vocals of Malthe Fischer move insistently on top of a collage of synthesizers, organ, syncopated guitars, slap bass and a tight cyber-funk groove. Yes was produced by Jesper Mortensen & Oh No Ono and it was recorded in Deltalab, Thomas Troelsen's studio where some of the most recognized Danish and international artists have recorded their material.
Oh No may refer to:
"Oh No!" is a song by Welsh recording artist Marina and the Diamonds from her debut studio album, The Family Jewels (2010). It was released as the album's fourth single on 2 August 2010.
Written on a trip to Los Angeles a week after The Family Jewels was mastered, "Oh No!" was the final track to complete the album. The singer explained:
["Oh No!"] was written in response to be terrified of not achieving what I say I want to achieve every time I open my big mouth. It's my part ii to "Mowgli's Road". I was paralysed by fear before my trip to the states and couldn't stop thinking about being a failure "etc" and was convinced that I'd become a self-fulfilling prophecy if my brain didn't shut up and stop being so negative. So I put it in a song. "Mowgli's [Road]" questioned who I want to be, "Oh No!" confirms it. It made me feel confident again after a shaky 6 months. Life is just a barrel of laughs at end of day, anyway!
On Greg Kurstin, who produced the song, she said, "I had really admired his work for a long time. Seeing as I was in LA, I asked if he wanted to write together and [the song] came out really well. He's great actually, very easy to work with. I really like his production style as well."
Oh No is the second studio album by Chicago rock band OK Go. It was released 30 August 2005. The album was recorded in late 2004 with producer Tore Johansson in Malmö, Sweden and mixed by Dave Sardy in Los Angeles. It is the final album to feature guitarist Andy Duncan, who left shortly after recording finished.
As of January 12, 2007, the album had sold 198,045 units.
After the band's performance at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, their album moved up to #2 on the iTunes Music Store album sales charts (as of September 3, 2006). Their album sold 8,250 units in the following week, a 95% increase over the prior week, rocketing from #87 to #69 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the highest position ever achieved by any OK Go album until the release of Of the Blue Colour of the Sky five years later.
On November 7, 2006, OK Go released a deluxe limited edition CD/DVD of the album. The DVD contains their videos (dancing and playing instruments), a video from 180 fans doing the "A Million Ways" dance for a YouTube contest, previously unseen footage, and a behind-the-scenes look of their treadmill rehearsals for the video and for the VMAs.
right beside the decoy
the river inhales the sea
god good god good god good god
the atmospheric pressure is somehow controlling me
hide in glove-compartments
don't ever believe in me
god good god good god good god
the dream readers are sleepy don't take them too seriously
the math magician showed no sign of life
the nurses knew the man was just a child
the curse of words that made him hesitate
went cheer up boy 'cause everythings just great
sometimes I'm fed up with faces and sometimes I stare
sometimes I'm faithful and sometimes I don't really care
I don't mind falling behind
and I keep speakers under my pillow to keep it in mind
now the moon will hit you
and nothing will ever change
god good god good god good god
I freeze up far too often.... enough is enough for me
I made a quick decision to calm down
and left their open mouths without a sound
I found no reason to complete the score
no reason but a door behind the door
sometimes I'm saving up favours and fake alibis
sometimes I'm honest and sometimes I'm purposely shy
I don't mind falling behind
