When you think of Belgium, you probably think of chocolate, beer, pleasant
architecture and labyrinthine bureaucracy rather than sultry electro-RÆnÆB,
but Oscar And The Wolf plan to change all that. Yes, despite having a name
that screams æMumford & Sons imitatorsÆ, Oscar and the Wolf are nothing of the
sort (and none of them are called Oscar, either) - the band is, in fact, the
brainchild of Max Colombie, Brussels-based bedroom musician turned alt-pop
producer. HeÆs been aided in this transition by Leo Abrahams, whose work with
the likes of Brian Eno, David Bryne, Jon Hopkins and Wild Beasts makes him
more than suited to the task.
Entity is the end result, and itÆs clear from the off that Colombie has
certainly nailed a unique vocal sound, filtering his voice to give it an
arrestingly alien quality - combined with the space-age sonic backdrops, the
overall aesthetic is a truly otherworldly one. æJoaquimÆ sees synths zipping
past like futuristic cars over a constant, enveloping bass hum, while æBloom
(Oh My Baby)Æ switches between ominous, pulsating bass and flighty
electronics. æWhere Are You?Æ and æDream Car Ocean DriveÆ have an almost
aquatic feel to them, æNoraÆ sees vocals and organ sounds intertwined in
soaring to the heavens, and even on æAistriuÆ, the albumÆs most stripped back
moment, the reverberating pianos still maintain the albumÆs dream-like
atmosphere.
