Published in Scotland On Sunday, 27 August 2017 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. Read on Scotsman.com [in association with Electric Fields Festival] ONR. Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday ONR. is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Robert Shields, from Dumfries & Galloway.Shields spent some time state-side last year, touring and writing, and it has paid off, with the announcement that he’s signed a deal with the US branch of Capitol Records.Drawing comparisons to the likes of Arcade Fire and Depeche Mode, new single Jericho is a synth-laden, electro-pop gem - catchy, and with interesting lyrics and some dark overtones. Early support comes from Los Angeles radio stations KCRW and KCSN and, in the UK, Clash Magazine and Jim Gellatly on Amazing Radio.Produced by Mark Crew (Rag & Bone Man, Bastille), an EP is set for release later this year.ONR. play the main stage at Electric Fields Festival on Friday.
