Time Capsules Ii

Emotion is what drives the psychedelic catchy pop rock tunes crafted by the oft-effervescent Brad Oberhofer. Drawing on influences ranging from Brian Wilson to Descartes, the 21 year old is fixated on the idea of making philosophically minded, energetic melodies that just make people smile. Armed with a belief that you spend your entire life searching for the socially aware version of the 5 year old "you", he tries to inject each song with the innocence felt by that same kid, sitting on the couch of his parents house playing the broken guitar he spent months teaching himself how to play. Referring to his songwriting as "a time capsule of exactly how I'm feeling at a particular moment", each song on his forthcoming debut, "Time Capsules II", is a clear, unrestrained look inside the head of Brad Oberhofer. After moving to Brooklyn from his hometown of Tacoma, Washington, to attend New York University, Brad quickly immersed himself in the indie rock community forming the 4 piece which is now quite simply known as Oberhofer. Brad recorded the debut album Time Capsules II with legendary producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, The Rolling Stones, Morrissey among others) in Brooklyn 2011.
