‘OR’ – Norwegian for “dizzy, confusing” – is the third album from the Italian avant-rock trio Oslo Tapes. The album presents what the title promises: a dizzying ride through a feverish dreamscape of imaginary Norwegian highlands painted in cubistic shapes. Hypnotic basslines, repetitive drum patterns, new wave synths and psychedelic guitar textures covering the full width of the stereo room, all seamlessly woven into a gloomy Kraut tapestry that sounds refreshing. For fans of Amon Düül, Can, Faust, Neubauten, Brian Eno, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack.
Brand new, never played, sealed
