In 2010, Oberhofer self-released his first single o0Oo0O0o and was soon asked to go on tour with bands like Sleigh Bells, Neon Indian, and The Morning Benders.[1] After hitting the road for a year, Oberhofer released Away Frm U and I Could Go in 2011. The two singles brought the attention of independent label White Iris Records who released the band's next single Gotta Go/Mahwun in the summer of 2011. Soon after, Oberhofer signed with Glassnote Records to release their debut album.[3] Stereogum ranked the band as the No. 39 most anticipated album of 2012.[4]
Brad began work on Time Capsules II in the studio with Grammy Award winning producer Steve Lillywhite in November 2011, recording vocals and most instrumental tracks himself, and pulling in bandmates and other instrumentalists to complete certain tracks. Glassnote released Time Capsules II on in the United States on March 27, 2012.[5] In anticipation for the release, the band performed "Away Frm U" on the Late Show with David Letterman.[6]
Oberhofer performed widely in clubs and on the festival circuit in support of Time Capsules II. Recent notable performances include in the Mojave Tent at the 2012 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[7] and the Budweiser stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 5, 2012,.[8] They are scheduled to perform at the Austin City Limits Music Festival on October 13.[9]
They are currently on tour with Matt & Kim from 9/16-11/17.
Haus
Oberhofer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A house with you
A house with you
A home
So we can be alone
And I've been running
I've been hiding
And climbing back up
Where they think they belong
Let's go
And I know
It's you who tried to tell me
What you're doin'
I wanna build a house with you
A house with you
A house with you
I wanna build a house with you
So we can be alone
So we can be alone
And I've been slipping on my shoes
My tongue is swollen
Lips are bruised
And I can't get up the hill
And I've been jumping through the leaves
And chopping down the cherry tree
So I-so I can tell
So I can tell the truth
Oh and I know
You're up to here in lies
with killers that you thought
I wanna build a house with you
A house with you
A house with you
I wanna build a house with you
So we can be alone
So we can be alone

The chorus "I wanna build a house with you, a house with you, a house with you, so we can be alone" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the desire to create a safe haven with this person. The verse "And I've been slipping on my shoes, my tongue is swollen, lips are bruised, and I can't get up the hill" may refer to the singer's previous unsuccessful attempts at finding companionship and love.
