Description
Oyama is a five-piece shoegaze/indie collective from Reykjavík who has just released their second full-length album Everyone Left, which finds
Oyama strikes a balance between elusive reality and tangible dreams. Their new album has a contemplative vibe and shares thematic threads with its predecessor.; their idiosyncratic songwriting earning recognition from leading music media. As KEXP's Jim Beckmann noted, "Sharing a name with the relatively small Japanese central city, \[the band\] has grown into a sonic metropolis of multiple influences, from psychedelic to ambient."
Featuring guitarist Alison MacNeil from cult Icelandic-Canadian math rock unit Kimono, Oyama creates a sound that combines a steady urban pulse with serenity, and with guitar delay causing ripples on the sonic pond, their sound is truly immersive.
Tracks were recorded at Sundlaugin studio of Sigur Rós and mixed by Árni Hjörvar Árnason (The Vaccines).
SUPPORT: Swallowtail - “Swallowtail are a Brighton-based four-piece originally from Nottingham. They blend the fuzzy aspects of shoegaze with the intricate melodies of post-punk, creating an elegantly gritty soundscape.”
SUPPORT: Full time visual artist, Innerstrings, is also a part-time DJ. Expect guitars that chime and singers who mumble.
Presented by Melting Vinyl.
