Last month Swedish trio OCH revealed the track 'Bolid' – the first single to be released from 'Pö om pö', the band's second album for Rocket and will be released on 27 May.
It has been great hearing 'Bolid' getting lots of spins on BBC 6 Music – and now hopefully the kosmische repetitive rhythms of follow-up single 'Silverstjärnan' will do the same.
The band say 'Silverstjärnan' is about the small fragments of reality and dream when half asleep during a trip with train or bus. Not sure where you are, or even where you are going.
You can watch the band made video for 'Silverstjärnan' above.
'Pö om pö' is available on ltd edition 'Ceremony Purple' vinyl from here:
Pö om pö (meaning ‘little by little’) is a journey further into inner space from ‘II’, the bands previous album. It’s a still more expansive and vibrant transmission from the ether which distills kaleidoscopic rapture and oracular intensity from a variety of sources. The excursions here are jam-based in origin but lucid in approach, crepuscular in aspect but uplifting in effect.
Dwelling in a smoke-clouded glow that’s equal parts sunset gold and effects pedal red, OCH have here transcended all influences to creating a tapestry of potent psychotropic sound. A record in which new horizons open up beyond the small hours, and where primeval wah-wah-abetted skronk and mantric folk-tinged repetition can collude to reveal new third-eye perceptions. Little By Little, Pö om pö, these forty minutes are here to bridge the chasms between conscious and subconscious, and in style.
