Dig into this week’s Saturday Alternative playlist! The Fitting Room album was Parts by Ohmme, out now on Joyful Noise.

What happens when two classically trained pianists with an urge to experiment ditch the keys and pick up electric guitars? Well, when you’re Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart, the chemical reaction that takes place is one to behold. Together, they are Ohmme, and their new album, Parts, is a fresh and exciting burst of hypnotic riffs, monstrous guitars, wild grooves and dual vocals that can be at once calming and chaotic. Having collaborated in the past with fellow Chicago acts like Chance the Rapper, Jeff Tweedy and Whitney, these are two world class musicians and songwriters who’ve made a conscious decision to step outside their comfort zone and try something entirely new, and while there’s a lot to take in for the listener, they know just when to bring it back down to Earth.
