THE OSCILLATION

oscillation
Veering between krautrock edginess, droning medicated tones and noise driven no wave fuzz, The Oscillation recalls the kosmische musik of Neu! and Tangerine Dream interpreted with an eye on Pil’s dubbed out punk funk, Miles Davis’ experimentalism and Spacemen 3’s strung out blues rock.
Beginning in 2008, when DC Recordings released the debut “Out Of Phase”, The Oscillation quickly expanded into a formidable live force. The ensemble has featured numerous different musicians plus the live visual manipulations of film maker Julian Hand. Now, almost Ten years on and several hundred live shows later, the band return with two new albums in 2018 that explore kosmische drone-scape and powerful psych-tinged rock n roll.
First Lp of the year, U.E.F comprised of two 22-minute slabs of unforgiving, dystopian electronica. The new LP “Wasted Space” will be released on September 21st 2018 on Fuzz Club and sees a return to ranting vocals, pummelling danceable rhythms, jagged guitar feedback and hypnotic soundscapes.
The Oscillation will be blowing eardrums and minds around Europe to co-incide with the release.
