Remind me to breath, When i can't catch my breath . . .

When i first listened to oOoOO, before a week or so, i was really shocked. No words to describe this unique band and its twisted vision. If i should use common terms to give you an idea about what is going on with oOoOO i should mention words such as "minimal", "ritual noise" and "weird indie/pop" (the good way). The music is based on haunted beats over which bittersweat/twisted synth themes are taking place. Is like waking up in the night during your sleep and start waking around with no consiousness at all. This band creates landscapes dedicated for the odd aspects of your character, using things normally lead to weak, silly pop tracks. And this is the real deal, their talent of "distorting"!

Furthermore, the band posts no specific info about itself on myspace. Also, my little search on the net had not any result. Propably there are two bandmembers, according to their photos, but who knows? So here it is! A mystery band and its mysterious aura utterly suited to this magnificent music. The mistery is enhanced after a glance on their label site (Disaro Records) which is full of interesting, rather spooky, artists.

Another thing that makes this band so much adorable, at least to me, is the DIY attitude they promote. Forget about the lifeless manufactured cds printed by major record companies. Those things are always something inbetween plastic shit and plastic meaningless shit. oOoOO print their art to limited cd-rs embraced by handmade sleeves! That means your copy will be one of a kind and special! You know, you can listen to great music while you are "exploring" the package. I haven't order my copy yet but i will defenitely do that next few days as there are only 100 copies. Great band after all, you must give it a try asap!
