The Oscillation - U.E.F (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 Oscillation is gearing up for the release of his fifth album, U.E.F, on March 2nd via Fuzz Club Records.

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 that's 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. This is kosmische musik for the new age; a fitting soundtrack to the forthcoming techno-apocalypse, when artificial intelligence takes over and we're all subjected to the way of the machine.
