The Oscillation biography
Multi-instrumentalist and producer Demian Castellanos grew up in Cornwall, Venezuela and Manchester. Eventually he returned to London, where he was born, and formed THE OSCILLATION alongside with bassist Tom Relleen. Although working with other projects too the band has become Castellanos' main vehicle to consolidate his musical influences. Showing a notable emphasis on modern electronica the band's debut album 'Out Of Phase' saw the light of day in 2007, Jon Abbey on drums and keyboarder Mark Thomas are contributing.

The follower album 'Veils' (2011) appears rockier than its predecessor, this time featuring drummer Tim Weller and Chris Wackrow on keyboards and second guitar. The band's music showcases huge rolling guitar lines and intricate electronic sounds that scatter relatively simple song formats. Stylistically this is sometimes close to French outfit Turzi while comprising hints from indie/alternative, psychedelic, space and krautrock fields. Since the end of 2011 Valentina Magaletti is the new drummer.

The Oscillation Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by LearsFool
Prog Reviewer

This sounds like what Bauhaus would've sounded like if they had done a dark, post punk take on psychedelia and krautrock rather than new wave. The Oscillation is a dour band, who plow their way through this dark, modernised psychkraut with vicious energy and a sinister groove. Electronic effects sound as if trumpets to open for the beat of twisted psych by way of industrial, ever infectious. It's hard to hate their music. The whole swath of the first three tracks is just perfect, nailing the band's preferred mood, style, and power and grabbing a listener. From there, they never let go. There's never a dull moment, and you'll want to put this on repeat forever. Out of an excellent group of well playing musicians, Tom Relleen is the true anchor of the band, with his killer bass being the beat, the glue, the best part of a masterwork. Highly recommended, this is the groovy counterpart to the Legendary Pink Dots.

Thanks to rivertree for the artist addition.
