Refreshed and re-energized, the result is \u003ci\u003eThe Start Of The End\u003c\/i\u003e, an album that casts more light and shade than ever before to create a mood of hope and re-birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once warm and welcoming,\u003ci\u003e The Start Of The End\u003c\/i\u003e is an album quite unlike anything that The Oscillation have ever released before. Fuelled by optimism and taking stock of what’s good about life and what needs to be jettisoned, the record is a result of spiritual and physical re-charging and cleansing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaving the claustrophobic environs of the big city for a more bucolic backdrop, the change in location has left a profound mark on Demian Castellanos, the creative force behind The Oscillation. Where the exorcism of dark emotions of previous album Untold Futures left Castellanos wondering if he’d ever make music again, his new surroundings stirred something within him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“When I made my new home, I allowed myself time to do nothing for a while,” says Castellanos, “and I then started some new songs without worrying about them being on an album. I just wrote with the mindset to put out something positive.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe continues: “I did a lot of reflecting on the past and really wanted to change something in myself, but not knowing how and thinking that a lot of people must be feeling the same way.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecalling the creation of\u003ci\u003e The Start Of The End\u003c\/i\u003e, Castellanos says, “Writing and recording in an environment where I had little contact with people, no hanging out or partying or even having conversations was very interesting.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is an album that’s recognisably the work of The Oscillation while pointing to a variety of new directions. Be it the celestial majesty of the title track, the melodic infusions that drive opening track ‘War On The Mind’ or the pulsing grooves underpinning ‘Faraway’ and ‘Body Electric’ or even hypnotic repetition at the heart of ‘Mantra’ and ‘The Eternal’, this music brimming with zeal and confidence. And to crown it all, closer ‘Sovereign’ is akin to communing with angels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Start Of The End\u003c\/i\u003e is a line in the sand and one that points to a better tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of: Spectrum \/ Recurring Era Spacemen 3, Loop, AR Kane, MBV, bdrmm,  Cocteau Twins, Telescopes and early 90s Creation records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Time Low","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50443469717835,"sku":"2189078","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50443469455691,"sku":"2189077","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Start_Of_The_End_Front_Cover_8a6a64ec_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727015032"},{"product_id":"untold-futures","title":"Untold Futures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Oscillation’s continuing journey into the centre of the mind and beyond shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. Indeed, new album Untold Futures is less a consolidation of all that we’ve come to love and expect from the cosmic explorers and more a leap forward into an upcoming reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedefining the possibilities of altered states through audio stimulation, \u003ci\u003eUntold Futures\u003c\/i\u003e finds The Oscillation at their most daring and breathtaking. A multi-layered assault on the senses, this is an unexpurgated experience for the seasoned connoisseur and unspoiled novice alike. Its power is felt in the multi-layered dissonance and undying throb of Dilated Mind, the metaphysical possibilities that beat at the heart of metronomic pulses of Forever Knowing and the face-melting attack of The Inner Void. Heart Of Nowhere is a mantra for the profane, while the dissonant beauty of Obscured realises re-birth and resurrection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevelatory in its brilliance and an intersection between the individual self and the collective unconscious, this is music to fuel the inner technology of the mind. So load up to the brim and give yourself up to Untold Futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVeering between krautrock edginess, droning medicated tones and noise driven no wave fuzz, The Oscillation recalls the music of Neu! and Tangerine Dream and Loop interpreted with an eye on Pil’s dubbed out punk funk, Miles Davis’ experimentalism and Spacemen 3’s strung out blues rock. Beginning in 2007, when DC Recordings released the debut “Out Of Phase”, The Oscillation have released many albums and EPs, both self released and with labels (Fuzz Club and Hands In The Dark and Cardinal Fuzz). Recent releases include the mutant kosmiche techno of “U.E.F”, the pounding and otherworldly “Wasted Space” from 2018 and the epic exploration of the inner landscapes with “Droneweapon”. Now The Oscillation return with a new face-biting album questioning our strange relationship with reality as \u003ci\u003eUntold Futures\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Time Low","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50456690000203,"sku":"1125418","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50456692719947,"sku":"1125417","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2699a699-aefe-4607-b5ad-70b43870772f_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727200301"},{"product_id":"wasted-space","title":"Wasted Space","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Oscillation are back with their sixth and most ambitious album to date, Wasted Space. A meditation on the nature of existence in the face of what can be insurmountable odds, Wasted Space finds The Oscillation painting from the darkershades of the kaleidoscopic scale. “The origins of Wasted Space go back to Monographic in 2016,” muses Demian Castellanos - themastermind behind The Oscillation. “That was a very bleak and heavy record and I really needed to move out of that mindset. Making U.E.F freed me up to write a coherent collection of narrative songs and compositions. Wasted Space is a partial continuation of a journey started with U.E.F., but one that re-incorporates more song-based ideas again.”What’s immediately apparent is that WastedSpace sets it stall well away from the prosaic third-eye tropes that have become orthodoxy. Album opener ‘Entity’ establishes the pacewith a focus on the dancefloor as much as on the navigation of existence. Fusing muscular grooves with an industrial wall of sound,these are bold steps into wholly new territories. “There’s an irony at play here,” considers Castellanos. “It’s a twisted party song, albeita party for one.” But what a party it is. The mutant disco is bolstered by the rhythmic call-and-response of ‘Drop’, a track that eschewsconventional methods of dance sensibility for more instinctive and primal urges. This is music that calls out to the suitably attuned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzz Club","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498022179147,"sku":"1045875","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/c0a33b4d-27d0-4c04-aa3e-f5a44c0f2d74_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727737000"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/the-oscillation.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
