You'll be hearing a lot more of their music, and you'll be seeing a lot of artists adopt their release strategy to cut through the noise of the modern music industry.
Josephine Vander Gucht and Anthony West teamed up four years ago and have unleashed a new single on the internet every month for a year.
The innovative move has seen the south-east London duo amass 36 million online streams and grow a devoted fanbase worthy of a band many years their senior.
With the release of their self-titled debut album earlier this month and a schedule of soldout shows in Europe and North America filling many of the remaining boxes in their 2015 calendar, Oh Wonder will find themselves at Marion Bay's Falls Festival before they know it.
"Because this project never started with any expectations everything that's happening now is a bonus," Vander Gucht said.
"We're just overwhelmed that people are coming to our shows and listening to our album and sending us emails to tour all the time so that's amazing."
Vander Gucht described the monthly release routine as being "a joy" but admitted it wasn't for the faint-hearted.
"There's no room for error in something like this," she said.
"We felt the pressure every month but seven months in, with an audience of people waiting to hear the next songs, there was no room to release a bad song."
The pair joked that some formal recognition wouldn't go astray.
"We'd love to write a second album next year in perhaps a more traditional format in terms of the release schedule - and a grammy wouldn't be bad," Vander Gucht said.
"We're just going round the world and playing our music to people and . . . if we get to continue doing that for the next year we would be the most lucky people in the world."
