Exploring influences such as The Durutti Column, Roy Montgomery, Spectrum, and Berlin school 70s synth pioneers, the result is a collection of expansive sound collages and compositions, awash with kosmiche synth drones, hypnotic percussion and inventive guitar mixed into an effects laden whirlpool.
Jem Doulton kindly provides meditative drum pulses and gentle cymbals swells throughout, complementing and allowing space for each sound to live and breathe.
Amid summery lysergic landscapes, colourful amorphous shapes wander across the distant horizon. Slowly the music evaporates as it meets atmosphere, inviting you to let go of your self and merge with the infinite.
All of the tracks originate from one day of improvisation and, upon revisiting, took the same path to completion over several extensive sessions. Systematically using one instrument at a time over all the tracks before moving on to the next sound and repeating the process through all the compositions. One sound becomes another, avoiding re-takes, and moving on quickly to the next without too much thought or analysis. In this way all the compositions started to share sounds and feelings in common and take shape together. The same ethos was applied to the application of effects and mixing.
Here they are presented in “Singularity Zones Vol.1”, the first in a series of albums recorded in the same zone.
"The Oscillation’s 8th full length album explores sound collages, drones, expansive washes of sound, and a shared aesthetic with Autotelia, the project Demian Castellanos partnered on with the late Tom Relleen"
"This is music that soothes like a balm as it envelopes the senses to signal the first step of an incredible voyage"
"Singularity Zone Vol.1 is the next step of a journey that has seen The Oscillation mutate and grow over their last few albums as they explore the many sonic possibilities that psychedelia can offer"

giro days pummelling 12 minutes monster grinder is a gem a perfect soundtrack to the time honoured tradition of going completely bonkers for one day a fortnight. that refrain of sex death sex death is tied to the title for me..the little death.sex ...and life ..measured in giros.or.lives ,measured in bi weekly trips to the hole in the wall at midnight .....a triumph of a record... probably as good as just say no..but I'm a sucker for a pair of drummers.GNOD ON christopherogley

Never get tired of watching GNOD live. a ferocious blend of feedback, astonishing riffing, bleeding guitars and feedback so aggressive you have to take a step back. This great album is slightly more experimental though! jonezyboy
