How do you describe the music of Pretty O.P.? The band's diverse sound tends to seamlessly fluctuate through elements of pop, rock, jazz, electronica, and more, while supporting creative lyrics and stellar instrumental and vocal performances. The refreshing incorporation of creative audio production, spectacular vocal harmonies (created by the four Mac brothers), and even tasteful hints of neo-psychedelia, are woven together expertly to further the power-pop stylings their name might suggest.


Originating in 2017, Derek Mac began the group with close friends and family to write, record, and perform music. The band recorded their self-titled album at their home studio in Baltimore County MD, drawing musical inspiration from other DIY bands such as The Flaming Lips and Grizzly Bear. The release of their debut album showcased the project's impressive range and versatility, and helped to establish Pretty O.P. as one of the most exciting new acts in the underground indie-pop/rock scene.


The Mac bros., Derek, Keenan, Mitchell, and Spencer, subsequently began planning and recording tracks for their upcoming sophomore albums Wash & Dry, this time drawing upon material created while growing up together over the span of the previous decade. Pretty O.P. stands as a genre-bending indie-pop recording collective that strives to push the boundaries of the alternative sound, while delivering unique and upbeat songs for music lovers and casual listeners alike.
