Oso Oso

an exchange of information is the sixth full-length from Oso Oso, the Long Beach, New York project led by Jade Lilitri. Due November 6, 2026, the 12-song album is also the first release from Feral Twin, the new independent label founded by Hop Along drummer Mark Quinlan.

The record finds Lilitri looking back at what Oso Oso has become across five previous albums while figuring out where the project can still go next. Much of the guitar work and vocal melody was already mapped out before recording began, which let the core songs take shape quickly in the studio. Guitarist Eddy Rodriguez, Oso Oso's other full-time member, also wrote some of his own parts during the sessions.

Sonically, an exchange of information moves between the polished, melodic indie rock Oso Oso has grown into and flashes of the emo and punk energy that fueled the project's earlier material. Lead single "know you know me better" gets there immediately: an upbeat, building pop-punk song that keeps adding momentum before opening up into a big chorus.

Lilitri says that by the time a project reaches its sixth LP, its own past records start becoming part of the influence. That push and pull between knowing what Oso Oso is and trying to find somewhere new to take it sits at the center of an exchange of information.
