Oscar and The Wolf
Oscar and the Wolf is the multifaceted solo project of Belgian pop musician Max Colombie, whose work has ranged over the course of his career from indie folk to dream pop and sleek electronic pop. After finding his footing with a series of EPs, Colombie's first full-length, 2014's Entity, topped the Belgian pop charts. He solidified his star status on 2017's Infinity and 2021's The Shimmer, both of which also reached number one. His 2022 stand-alone single "Warrior" was a massive chart-topping hit, and he followed it with the moody "All Night" in collaboration with producer Maceo Plex. He kicked off 2024 with the rousing song "Angel Face."
Colombie launched Oscar and the Wolf in 2010, initially fashioning it as a folk-oriented band in the mold of Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver. After the project's debut EP, Imagine Mountains, Oscar and the Wolf signed with PIAS Records and returned in 2012 with a second EP, Summer Skin, this time trending more toward dreamy guitar pop. With Colombie taking a more dominant role as producer, he again altered the project's sound with 2014's shadowy Entity LP, which recast Oscar and the Wolf as a moody indie electronic act. This sea change resonated with fans, and the album topped the Belgian charts, going double platinum.
Over the next two years, Colombie built up his live presence, supporting Róisín Murphy on an extensive European tour, then selling out major venues in Antwerp and Amsterdam as a headliner. His second full-length, 2017's Infinity, continued in the tonal style of its predecessor and found success in equal measure, hitting number one in Belgium behind the hit single "Breathing." Following a four-year gap, Colombie returned in April 2021 with "James," a sultry, pulsing track. Over the coming months, he built up to his next release with the radio-friendly "Oliver" and "Livestream," all of which appeared on The Shimmer, titled in reference to Alex Garland's 2018 sci-fi film Annihilation. With The Shimmer, Oscar and the Wolf notched his third consecutive Belgian number one. In September 2022, "Warrior" became his first single to top the charts, and he followed it with the noirish "All Night," a collaboration with Spanish house producer Maceo Plex. Colombie's next single, "Angel Face," arrived in early 2024 and also made the Top Ten.
