True to their name, the Dirty Hit label produced quite some (dirty) hits already. It’s home to successful artists like The 1975, Pale Waves, beabadoobee, Wolf Alice and Marika Hackman. All of them featured on Carte Blanche Music before.

Now, we can add Oscar Lang to that list. He’s the son of the former drummer in The Housemartins (remember them?). But more relevantly, he’s a singer-songwriter and producer from London, who crafts his songs in his bedroom studio. He’s part of a group of creative friends, including beabadoobee and Alfie Templeman.

Only 20 years old, Lang already has three EP’s to his name, and the fourth is on its way. The Hand Over Your Head EP is slated for release on 11 September. It’ll feature 7 tracks, including his new single Apple Juice, a fuzzy Brit-rock song with a psychedelic touch.

Sounds like the one to propel Oscar Lang to a wider audience.
