about

Status Oblique’s sophomore release “The Shining Path” reveals the project’s sombre side, with a wall of sound closing in on the listener, only kept at bay by a hypnotic beat.

Teaming up again with prolific UK artist and musician Jenn Zed (zed-point.bandcamp.com), this is Status Oblique first release on Transmission Nova Records with the track mixed by label boss Almark.

Status Oblique composer Roshan says the track seeks to blur the lines between digital and natural sounds in a way that makes the source of sounds less important than the final product…

“Without drawing from them directly, I try let my influences guide me as I develop the song. Sometimes it’s inconvenient, because this drags the song away from it’s original intent or sub-genre.

As with All Systems Go, the vocal changes my thinking and after getting the vocal from Jenn Zed, I redrafted some of the soundscapes to match what she had done. Without that vocal, this song is just a collection of sounds.”

Transmission Nova head Almark described the song as a mashup of the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos and Bauhaus…

Melt

Stunning and tranquil dream pop backed by strong shoegaze-like instrumentation. The two greatest facets of this album are the floaty female vocals that ride along the forefront and the expansive melodicism of the guitars that create moments of intensity Everything is delivered with a crystalline clarity, never becoming too washed out in droning sounds. There are certainly efforts to balance the more spirited or slow-burn moments found throughout the record Lorenzo
