LP released: Apr 13, 2018
The Oscillation is one of the many aliases of Demian Castellanos, an almost-mythical force in the London underground. Since 2006, under the guise of The Oscillation, Demian has released four LPs, countless EPs/singles and played with everyone from Silver Apples and Beak to Wooden Shjips and Deerhunter, all the while being emulated by the likes of The Guardian, Mojo, The Quietus, Vice, Q, Pitchfork and 6 Music. Following on from the disillusioned, cosmic psych-punk of 2016's 'Monographic' LP and the 2017 single Evil In the Tree, the new album sees Demian completely subvert his sound once-again, adding a new evolution to his ever-evolving musical canon. Ditching any inkling of his rock beginnings for a lysergic (but equally sinister) journey into post-apocalyptic electronics and sprawling drones resulting in something thats more likely to be bouncing around the walls of club nights than the back-room venue of grotty bars. U.E.F is comprised of two 20-minute slabs of unforgiving, dystopian electronica - complete with ambient electronics, droning analogue synths, monolithic percussion and a hypnotic kraut gusto. |
