REVIEW: Oblique presents "THING FOR YOU" & "PANIC"



The Oblique duo returns, and it does so with two albums: "THING FOR YOU" & "PANIC". With them they show that they are the kind of artists who do not stitch without thread, who know what they are doing at all times and do not leave anything to chance, although sometimes their decisions may seem unusual or out of place. And if in addition, after a consecration in the underground, we see them doing their thing with these two albums, it leaves us even more surprised.


Both EPs manage to provide introspection, energy and absorbing twilight, closing an album that knows how to turn musical pulp into a refreshing ambrosia juice. The more the record is listened to, the more difficult it is to place it in a specific geographical location. His music seems to never solidify, to be a flow of sounds and impressions that never seem to remain fixed in place or memory, like a perfume or a quick vision of a body in motion, to the point of postulating itself as one of the true values ​​of the future of meek and shiny electronics.



The songs that are recorded on both albums demonstrate Oblique's particular way of understanding the sound, located at the opposite end of the commercial, the generic, what works: what it does is, on the contrary, a kind of unstable magma of pulsations and radiance, of melodic strokes and blurred textures, pursuing a serene, spiritual, almost ascetic expression. All those languages ​​and influences from which he was nurtured dialogue on this album, creating new, different and highly evolved sound organisms.


Oblique's mastery of language is total, and here they have once again delved into the past to draw inspiration from another verse, more forceful and melancholy, but no less evocative. All in all, we can safely say that this Loosh is on the verge of excellence.
