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. Their success led the two to form The Oh Hellos, releasing their self-titled EP later that year. On October 30th, 2012, they released their self-produced debut album Through The Deep, Dark Valley. On December 10th, 2013, they released The Oh Hellos' Family Christmas Album, an EP that featured a medley of classical Christmas hymns.
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. 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.
On November 14th 2017, the band debuted a single, "Torches", from their EP Notos, which debuted December 8th, 2017. 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.
