Description
Release date: 10.12.2021
Orsak:Oslo is a melancholic brew of kraut, psych and post-rock with gentle fuzz-filled melodies
and a noticeable nordic atmosphere.
On the bands new release Skimmer/Vemod they investigate contrasting inspirational backdrops
and methods.
“Skimmer” borrows atmospheres from dank forrest floors and midland flora, influences which are
not commonly referred to by Orsak:Oslo. The songs’ fundamentals were written and recorded as a
live jam, which has become sort of the band’s hallmark by now.
“Vemod” stands in stark opposition, as by time of creation the pandemic had the band separated in
different countries. This called for some experimental songwriting and recording techniques, and
Orsak:Oslo had to venture beyond their standard modus operandi. On the familiar side, the band
cites Vemod’s influences as “nautical”, something that has also been of inspiration to some of their
earlier work.
