3) Oslo Twins - Back To Nothing

 

 

News from indie-pop Bristol, UK band... 

The band's debut EP 'Back To Nothing' is subtly influenced by dance, industrial and lo-fi music of the 80s and 90s, adorned with distinctive, hooky pop melodies. 

The new EP includes previously released singles “Breath”, “Miss Yesterday” and title track “Back to Nothing”, all receiving notable support from BBC 6 Music, So Young Magazine, The Independent, DIY Magazine, Rough Trade, The Line Of Best Fit, amongst others. 

The songs on Oslo Twins' debut EP vary in mood from the danceable anthem “Miss Yesterday” to the rhythmic and otherwordly “Basilica”, all connected by a sense of distant places and the tension between unity and isolation.

Album "There Is No Desire" 

releases October 6, 2023 

Vox - C.R. (Ex Huggy Bear) 

Drums - S.B. (no Ex) 

Bass - K.H. (Ex PRE / Male Bonding) 

Guitar - J.W. (Ex PRE / Male Bonding) 

Adulkt Life, a ringing toll of a band. ‘There Is No Desire,’ a personalized shove of a record. Cabled, construction-site melodies. Rhythms like concrete barricades. A seesaw fight between vitality and desperation. Relentless focus. THAT VOICE. On ‘There Is No Desire’ it feels like the band has let something unlatch inside them, an effect revealed across its ten tracks. The arc of this record is irreproachable—it begins weighted, ground down, encumbered. Struggling to freedom, it takes off at the midpoint, hyperactive with chiming notes and audible grinning. It ends, however, in squalling confession. An urgent, compulsive, high-speed document of weariness and resistance, ache and comfort. ‘There is No Desire’ is Adulkt Life’s second LP, succeeding ‘Book of Curses’ (2020, What’s Your Rupture). Adulkt Life is Sonny Barrett, Kevin Hendrick (ex-PRE and Male Bonding), Chris Rowley (ex-Huggy Bear), and John Arthur Webb (ex-PRE and Male Bonding). ‘There is No Desire’ is co-released by JABS (U$A) and Our  Voltage (Germany).
