They were backed by big neon letters spelling their acronym “OW,” but neither London synth-pop outfit Oh Wonder nor their fans were feeling any pain Tuesday night at the Echo. Doing their stateside debut shows, the four-piece — built around the songwriting duo of Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West — had packed the Troubadour on Monday night before doing the same on the other side of town Tuesday. They strung together a dozen of the 15 songs on their self-titled debut, which was released in early September. Most the songs — included were “Livewire,” “Drive,” “Dazzle,” “Landslide” and show-ender “Technicolour Beat” — were among those the duo released one month at a time leading up to the album release. Having been teased and tickled, their fans responded adoringly. L.A.’s XYLO opened.
