History

Tyler Heath began writing and recording music in 2007, having released three albums by himself, Let It Go, A Christmas Album, and We're All In This Together. In 2011, he was joined by Maggie Heath, his sister, to write a song together for their mother's birthday.[8] Their success led the two to form The Oh Hellos, releasing their self-titled EP later that year.[9][10] On October 30th, 2012, they released their self-produced debut album Through The Deep, Dark Valley. [11][12] On December 10th, 2013, they released The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album, an EP that featured a medley of classical Christmas hymns.[13][14]

On October 16th, 2015, The Oh Hellos released Dear Wormwood, their second album. Dear Wormwood was inspired by The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis and the writing of Patrick Rothfuss.[15][16] The band described it as a sequel to their first LP Through the Deep, Dark Valley, with the first focusing on the speaker's past and Dear Wormwood focusing on the speaker's future.[17]

On November 14th 2017, the band debuted a single, "Torches", from their EP Notos, which debuted December 8th, 2017.[18][19] Notos was the first EP in an ongoing series of four, taking their names from Greco-Roman deities of wind named Anemoi. In a similar fashion, the band released a single, "Grow" on January 18th, 2018, from the next EP in the series, Eurus, which released February 9th, 2018.[20][21]
