Imagine you’ve spent months at a time on the road with your band for more than two years running, bouncing between opening slots, festival appearances, and headlining sets in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and Europe. You’ve been enthralling audiences with the frenetic yet tightly controlled energy of your immersive live show, supporting a bold and proudly unconventional debut album.

Continued efforts to flatten the curve of the pandemic mean they’re now self-isolating separately and confined to livestreaming their performances. And like so many of us, they’ve been trying their hand at making focaccia and turning to astrology to try to make sense of the wrenching changes in the world.

Do Division Virtual Street Fest night one featuring Ohmme, Fran, We Were Promised Jetpacks (solo), and Wyatt Waddell Tonight’s bill is booked by the Empty Bottle. Fri 6/26, 5:15 PM, West Town Chamber of Commerce, westtownchamber.org, $10 suggested donation, all ages

Ohmme’s sound reflects their varied backgrounds and their classical training. The band might adopt the cadences and syncopation of hip-hop, take deep breaths of folk-rock simplicity, or erupt with the all-in ferocity of a freely improvised electric-guitar freak-out—and they can balance it all gracefully. Stewart and Cunningham don’t know exactly why their partnership works so much better than all their other musical relationships, but they’re grateful for it.

“Change is the only constant, as cheesy as it sounds,” Stewart adds. “It’s up to you to figure out how you approach and welcome it into your life—whether you’re up for it or fighting against it. Either one is worthwhile, but it’s about figuring out how you want to respond while you can.”

While Ohmme’s lyrics generally offer more questions than answers, the album’s closing track, “After All,” comes closer than most to a resolution; it also has the most familiar, traditional melody, tinged with 60s vocal-group pop. Unambiguously about having compassion for yourself, it’s a reminder for women to stand firm and create their own spaces in a society that demands they shrink themselves. “Lonely girl, it’s OK / Take a breath, get away / Seek your cocoon,” they sing, with Stewart’s sweet, high voice floating above Cunningham’s warm, cozily worn-in one. “Lonely girl, you’re enough / Take a breath, loosen up.”
