Oompa – November 3rd

<a href="http://hipstory.bandcamp.com/album/november-3rd">November 3rd by Oompa</a>November 3rd is jam packed with stories of the triumphs and defeats of being a black, queer, girl from Boston while experiencing the loss of her mother. Allston Pudding says, “November 3rd, which fittingly dropped yesterday evening, is a document of end-of-the-year struggle buoyed by the electricity of one of the city’s most promising artistic voices. Between pleas to family members for understanding (“Dear Mama”), that occasional wish in the back of everyone’s head to be a kid again (“Take Me Back”), and keeping heart amidst a nationwide battle over seemingly simple declarations of #blacklivesmatter (“sayHERname”), Oompa covers familiar trials of humanity with smirking wordplay (which is on full display in first single “Your Girl” below) and incredible command of presence for a debut album.”
