Oso Oso – “all of my love”
In 2022, Oso Oso released Sore Thumb, the album that bandleader Jade Lilitri recorded with his late cousin and bandmate Tavish Maloney just before Maloney’s passing. The record served as Lilitri’s tribute to Maloney, and it was one of our favorites of the year. Oso Oso followed that album with the stray single “De Facto” […]
