Confusion Species

Confusion Species is the new album from Oxygen Thief, the first album from the Bristol trio in 4 years.

A blast of heavy riffs, syncopated time signatures and clever lyrics - Confusion Species is a welcome return after songwriter and frontman Barry Dolan’s solo acoustic side project Non Canon.

With themes exploring the nature of truth and lies; FOMO; propaganda; how we’re meant to cope with the constant bombardment of information; our relationship with the past; indecision; anxiety; fear; trying to moving forward in life with the weight of the world’s problems threatening to crush us at every turn - ‘Confusion Species’ is a very thought-provoking album, but from the standpoint of our reactions to those situations rather than about particular causes.
