Disoriented, hands follow the ░▐ ▌░ walls to find what could be the ceiling, fingers digging into ░▐ ▌░ the rock to find somethingû anythingû loose to help point ░▐ ▌░ toward a direction out. Suddenly, a rock frees itself and ░▐ ▌░ after clearing away some dirt, a pin of blinding light shines ░▐ ▌░ through the enveloping darkness. Clearing away soil and rock ░▐ ▌░ with more and more vigor, hope and salvation is just a short ░▐ ▌░ way from here. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ This is PG.LOSTÆs Oscillateû the bandÆs latest LP packed to ░▐ ▌░ the gills with pure drama and catharsis. Their fifth overall ░▐ ▌░ and first effort since 2016Æs much lauded Versus, Oscillate ░▐ ▌░ leans on an instrumental approach and while their keen ░▐ ▌░ understanding of tension/release may warrant comparison to ░▐ ▌░ the likes of MONO, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! ░▐ ▌░ Black Emperor, PG.LOST is unafraid to move into exciting new ░▐ ▌░ directions. With influences that range from the emotional ░▐ ▌░ heft of Big Thief to the inventive spirit of krautrock to the ░▐ ▌░ brutality of Neurosis to the dark experimentalism of COIL, ░▐ ▌░ these heavier elements intertwine and open up into wide-eyed ░▐ ▌░ expansiveness of Fennesz or Tim Hecker, revealing a beauty ░▐ ▌░ shimmering underneath and a range of depth rarely found in ░▐ ▌░ todayÆs over-compressed and spit-shined version of ômodern ░▐ ▌░ music.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ In making the new LP, PG.LOST opted to keep it simple and ░▐ ▌░ follow their gut. ôOn the previous records we have always ░▐ ▌░ tried to make it very basic and clean when it comes to ░▐ ▌░ production, not too many overdubs or add-ons,ö reveals ░▐ ▌░ bassist Kristian Karlsson. ôThis time was more about not ░▐ ▌░ thinking about that at all. We donÆt try to over analyse our ░▐ ▌░ recordsû it always starts with one or two songs and they ░▐ ▌░ often set the mood of the rest of the writing process.I think ░▐ ▌░ this album has more layers to itû you hear new things every ░▐ ▌░ time you listen. WeÆre really looking forward to hearing what ░▐ ▌░ the listeners think.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Kicking off with a blossoming dark ambient passage on the ░▐ ▌░ title track, an ascendant guitar/synth part builds tension ░▐ ▌░ until final release is achieved with a massive chorus, waves ░▐ ▌░ of eye-opening guitars and elephantine tribal drums. ItÆs ░▐ ▌░ emblematic of the album as a wholeû massive in scope and even ░▐ ▌░ larger in sound, Oscillate is the true definition of its ░▐ ▌░ title with incredibly tense swells to the point of collapse ░▐ ▌░ leading to a slow but pensive disintegration. And again. And ░▐ ▌░ again. Oscillate is not just instrumental music, itÆs ░▐ ▌░ cinematicû itÆs high drama, executed in IMAX with a pristine ░▐ ▌░ soundtrack blasting at 120db. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Due in November via Pelagic Records, the LP was recorded by ░▐ ▌░ the band in their own studio, and mixed/mastered by Magnus ░▐ ▌░ Lindberg from Cult of Luna. In creating the LP, the only ░▐ ▌░ hurdle seemingly was an internal one and making efficient use ░▐ ▌░ of individual scheduling. ôWhen we formed the band we spent ░▐ ▌░ almost every night in the rehearsal space,ö recalls Karlsson. ░▐ ▌░ ôNowadays we only rehearse for tours or when we plan to have ░▐ ▌░ writing sessions for example upcoming records. It is not as ░▐ ▌░ spontaneous as it used to be, but I think it forces us to ░▐ ▌░ really make the best out of it when we do see each other.ö ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Founded in 2004 in Norrk÷ping, Sweden, PG.LOST is Mattias ░▐ ▌░ Bhatt, Martin Hjertstedt (ex- Ghost), Gustav Almberg (The ░▐ ▌░ Great Discord) and Kristian Karlsson (Cult of Luna). Formed ░▐ ▌░ in pursuit of a singular love of post-rock, ambient and ░▐ ▌░ shoegaze with a bent towards post- metal, the band released ░▐ ▌░ their self-titled and the Yes, I Am EPs in 2006 and 2007. ░▐ ▌░ From there PG.LOST dropped their 2008 LP It's Not Me, It's ░▐ ▌░ You! quickly followed by 2009Æs In Never Out, Key, the Wang ░▐ ▌░ Wen split LP and Versus followed in 2012, 2013 and 2016 ░▐ ▌░ respectively. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Sovereign in execution and mammoth in scope, Oscillate is ten ░▐ ▌░ tracks of pure dramatic bombast and a massive step forward ░▐ ▌░ for the decades-old band. The four years away have been worth ░▐ ▌░ it. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ Proper reason: previous rip was nuked for missing full URL. ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ wav -> mp3 scene standards ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ▄▄▄┌─────────────┐▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░▐ ▌░ ▒▒▒│ marr │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░▐ ▌░ └─────────────┘ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ indie . pop . rock . shoegaze . dream . jangle . twee ░▐ ▌░ chamber . noise . c-86 . college . goth . post . kraut ░▐ ▌░ darkwave . alternative . lo-fi . country . americana ░▐ ▌░ folk . folk/rock . psychedelic . progressive . metal ░▐ ▌░ heavy . hair . math . grunge . classic . southern . aor ░▐ ▌░ west coast . punk . garage . avantgarde . classical ░▐ ▌░ electronic . ambient ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ▌░ ░▐ ░▌░ ░ █ █ ░ ░▐░ ▌░ ▓▓█ █▓▓ ░▐ ▌░ ░█ █░ ░▐ ▌░ █ ░ ▒ ░ ░ ▒ ░ █ ░▐ ░ ▌░██ ░ ▒█████░ ░█████▒ ░ ██░▐ ░ ▒ ░ ▌░█ ░ ███▓ ▓██ ▒ ▒ ██▓ ▓███ ░ █░▐ ░ ▒ ░██ ▌█▓ ████ █▒ ▒█ ████ ▓░▐ ██░ ░██████░ ███ █ █ ███ ░██████░ ██████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████ ▒███ ███▒ ██ █ █ ██ ▒███ ███▒ ████ ████████ ▒ █ █ ▒ ████████ ████ ████░ ███████░ ░░ █ █ ░░ ░███████ ░████ █████░ ████▒ ▒ ▓█ █▒ ▒█ █▓ ▒ ▒████ ░█████ █████░ ██████████ ███ █ █ ███ ██████████ ░█████ ▒██████ ░ ███████▒ ████▒▒█ █▒▒████ ▒███████ ░ ██████▒ ░ ███░ ███ ░ * █▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓█ * ░ ███ ░███ ░ █░ ███ █░ *** * * █▒█▒▒██████▒▒█▒█ * * *** ░█ ███ ░█ ████ ██ * ████████ ████████ * ██ ████ ████████ * *** ░ ░██████ ██████░ ░ *** * ████████ █████ ** ░ ████ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ████ ░ ** █████ ▒█████████████▒▒ ░░ ░░ ▒▒█████████████▒ ░▓██████████▒ ░░ ░░ ▒██████████▓░ ▒█████ ░░ ░░ █████▒ ███ ███ ██ ██ ▒█ █▒ https://pglost.bandcamp.com/album/oscillate
