Boasting the most soothing, blissful alt and indie folk sound you have ever heard, ‘Drink Up The Sun’ feels more like a giant, white cloud, with all listeners walking on it. Built on soft and malleable acoustic tones, the record features a healthy amount of clean, polite guitars and feathery drums, next to the occasional electronic texture and metallic plucks. Everything plays a vital role in crafting a sonic identity that perfectly suits OSCILLA.
Hailing from California, the talented and visionary outfit manages to deliver an EP that’s convincing and joyful, yet nostalgic and melancholic – at least at times. Our favourite episode in it is title track ‘Drink Up The Sun’, a stunning slice of modern indietronica infused with intimate lyricism and hazy, hypnotising imagery. What more could you want? Simply, OSCILLA pens a masterpiece here, one that’s crowned by head honcho Frances England’s cathartic, evocative vocals.
Omar Akrouche on electric guitars, bass, piano and sound manipulations, and Jason Slota on drums and percussion complete an eclectic lineup.
