…because they riiiiiiip. Jesus Walker Christ, this band is fantastic. And they’re coming to Louisville soon (more info on that Monday or Tuesday). I plan to publish a review of their just-released full length Weather Patterns as soon as I get it, but right now I’m thoroughly vibin’ to last year’s Tune In/Tune Out. This Detroit-based collective has unequivocally concocted one of the finest, most well-balanced, most seamlessly meshed exploration of classic psychedelia, shoegaze, kraut rock, and experimental movements with a melodic sensibility. Oblisk is completely ridiculous. They exist to spread merriment to me and you, nothing more. I have a lot more to say about them in due time, but please enjoy what I’m enjoying right now.
The cover art is awesome, too. I love industrial imagery in art:
What’s popular these days anyway? Passion Pit? Memory Cassette? The Michael Jacksons? I dunno, but fuck that jive. Oblisk. Get on it. Your shit’s about to get stratospheric.
For fans of: Deerhunter, Ride, Faust
