Hexes & Ohs
Hexes & Ohs is a Canadian electronic indie pop group from Montreal. Their sound combines 1980s inspired beats and synthesizer sounds with indie pop structures and melodies. They have released three albums since 2005 and have opened for many artists such as Tokyo Police Club, Sloan, and Mates of State. The two members of Hexes and Ohs consist of Edmund Lam and Heidi Donnelly, who were high-school sweethearts with a passion to experiment musically and have together created a unique sound.
==History==
Heidi Donnelly and Edmund Lam have been making music for around a decade. Their first musical endeavour was a pop quartet called Jolly Bean. While with this band Heidi and Edmund recorded two albums and through the 90’s transformed from an East Coast pop style to a more electric sound. While together, Jolly Bean experimented with different styles of music included pop, grunge, and electronic. However, Jolly Bean did not last and turned into a trio called “A Vertical Mosaic” in 1999. The band was soon signed by a Canadian record company called Noise Factory Records and continued to make catchy and sophisticated songs. A Vertical Mosaic built up a strong fan base, especially in the band’s city or origin, Montreal. Despite A Vertical Mosaic’s success, they disbanded in 2004 due to disagreements between the members.
Edmund and Heidi persevered and created Hexes & Ohs shortly after A Vertical Mosaic was disbanded. They have always had an interest in music and a flair for experimenting with different sounds. In 2005 they released their debut album “Goodbye Friend, Welcome Lover” which consisted of songs recorded from their apartment. This unique collaboration of vocals, guitars, and the synthesizer started Hexes & Ohs on a journey of musical success and popularity. Their rise in popularity lead their debut album to peak on Canadian campus charts at number two nationally. Furthermore, “Goodbye Friend, Welcome Lover” continued to remain within the top Ten. CBC Radio 3 named “Whadaya Know?” one of their top 50 singles of the year.
Hexes & Oh's most current album “Bedroom Madness” which was released on September 2, 2008 has greatly evolved from their earlier music. With a sophisticated and edgy sound, Hexes & Ohs’ music is packed with strong beats, sharper melodies, and a bolder, more confident personality. Their songs have often been compared to music created by New Order, Postal Service, and Cut Copy. Over the past couple of decades, Hexes & Ohs has gained much experience and their songs now portray the intricacies of inspired musicianship without losing the depth and sincerity which has made them so popular with their fans.
