▌░ ░▐
▌░ Trapped in a cavern, itÆs pitch black and the air is getting ░▐
▌░ harder and harder to breathe. Disoriented, hands follow the ░▐
▌░ walls to find what could be the ceiling, fingers digging into ░▐
▌░ the rock to find somethingû anythingû loose to help point ░▐
▌░ toward a direction out. Suddenly, a rock frees itself and ░▐
▌░ after clearing away some dirt, a pin of blinding light shines ░▐
▌░ through the enveloping darkness. Clearing away soil and rock ░▐
▌░ with more and more vigor, hope and salvation is just a short ░▐
▌░ way from here. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ This is PG.LOSTÆs Oscillateû the bandÆs latest LP packed to ░▐
▌░ the gills with pure drama and catharsis. Their fifth overall ░▐
▌░ and first effort since 2016Æs much lauded Versus, Oscillate ░▐
▌░ leans on an instrumental approach and while their keen ░▐
▌░ understanding of tension/release may warrant comparison to ░▐
▌░ the likes of MONO, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! ░▐
▌░ Black Emperor, PG.LOST is unafraid to move into exciting new ░▐
▌░ directions. With influences that range from the emotional ░▐
▌░ heft of Big Thief to the inventive spirit of krautrock to the ░▐
▌░ brutality of Neurosis to the dark experimentalism of COIL, ░▐
▌░ these heavier elements intertwine and open up into wide-eyed ░▐
▌░ expansiveness of Fennesz or Tim Hecker, revealing a beauty ░▐
▌░ shimmering underneath and a range of depth rarely found in ░▐
▌░ todayÆs over-compressed and spit-shined version of ômodern ░▐
▌░ music.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ In making the new LP, PG.LOST opted to keep it simple and ░▐
▌░ follow their gut. ôOn the previous records we have always ░▐
▌░ tried to make it very basic and clean when it comes to ░▐
▌░ production, not too many overdubs or add-ons,ö reveals ░▐
▌░ bassist Kristian Karlsson. ôThis time was more about not ░▐
▌░ thinking about that at all. We donÆt try to over analyse our ░▐
▌░ recordsû it always starts with one or two songs and they ░▐
▌░ often set the mood of the rest of the writing process.I think ░▐
▌░ this album has more layers to itû you hear new things every ░▐
▌░ time you listen. WeÆre really looking forward to hearing what ░▐
▌░ the listeners think.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Kicking off with a blossoming dark ambient passage on the ░▐
▌░ title track, an ascendant guitar/synth part builds tension ░▐
▌░ until final release is achieved with a massive chorus, waves ░▐
▌░ of eye-opening guitars and elephantine tribal drums. ItÆs ░▐
▌░ emblematic of the album as a wholeû massive in scope and even ░▐
▌░ larger in sound, Oscillate is the true definition of its ░▐
▌░ title with incredibly tense swells to the point of collapse ░▐
▌░ leading to a slow but pensive disintegration. And again. And ░▐
▌░ again. Oscillate is not just instrumental music, itÆs ░▐
▌░ cinematicû itÆs high drama, executed in IMAX with a pristine ░▐
▌░ soundtrack blasting at 120db. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Due in November via Pelagic Records, the LP was recorded by ░▐
▌░ the band in their own studio, and mixed/mastered by Magnus ░▐
▌░ Lindberg from Cult of Luna. In creating the LP, the only ░▐
▌░ hurdle seemingly was an internal one and making efficient use ░▐
▌░ of individual scheduling. ôWhen we formed the band we spent ░▐
▌░ almost every night in the rehearsal space,ö recalls Karlsson. ░▐
▌░ ôNowadays we only rehearse for tours or when we plan to have ░▐
▌░ writing sessions for example upcoming records. It is not as ░▐
▌░ spontaneous as it used to be, but I think it forces us to ░▐
▌░ really make the best out of it when we do see each other.ö ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Founded in 2004 in Norrk÷ping, Sweden, PG.LOST is Mattias ░▐
▌░ Bhatt, Martin Hjertstedt (ex- Ghost), Gustav Almberg (The ░▐
▌░ Great Discord) and Kristian Karlsson (Cult of Luna). Formed ░▐
▌░ in pursuit of a singular love of post-rock, ambient and ░▐
▌░ shoegaze with a bent towards post- metal, the band released ░▐
▌░ their self-titled and the Yes, I Am EPs in 2006 and 2007. ░▐
▌░ From there PG.LOST dropped their 2008 LP It's Not Me, It's ░▐
▌░ You! quickly followed by 2009Æs In Never Out, Key, the Wang ░▐
▌░ Wen split LP and Versus followed in 2012, 2013 and 2016 ░▐
▌░ respectively. ░▐
▌░ ░▐
▌░ Sovereign in execution and mammoth in scope, Oscillate is ten ░▐
▌░ tracks of pure dramatic bombast and a massive step forward ░▐
▌░ for the decades-old band. The four years away have been worth ░▐
▌░ it. ░▐
