Oso Oso's new LP to launch Mark Quinlan's Feral Twin Records
Oso Oso has announced their upcoming album 'An Exchange of Information,' due out November 6, which will be the first release on Mark Quinlan's new label Feral Twin Records. The lead single 'Know You Know Me Better' is now available. The band will embark on a North American tour in the fall with various supporting acts.
The album's twelve-track listing includes previously teased material alongside the newly released single, with the band's frontman Jade Lilitri handling songwriting duties. Quinlan's extensive industry résumé spans multiple roles, including touring, booking, and artist representation, which he cites as foundational to his approach with the new venture.
The fall tour will split the country geographically, with different opening acts joining the bill on each coast. This marks the band's first major touring cycle since their 2024 release, and the label launch positions Quinlan to apply his varied industry experience toward a more selective, artist-focused release model.
This launch could signal a shift in how independent musicians approach label partnerships, as Quinlan's artist-first philosophy may resonate with creators seeking alternatives to traditional label structures. Fans of both Oso Oso and Hop Along may find new connective tissue between these scenes, potentially broadening audiences across both acts. The model of an experienced industry professional starting a boutique label could inspire similar ventures, though its long-term viability will depend on commercial performance and artist retention.
