about

Oslo Tapes returns with the highly anticipated fourth album, ’Staring at the Sun Before Goin' Blind’ marking another step in Marco Campitelli's personal initiatory journey through the realms of post/art/kraut/noise and introspection. The album will be released on vinyl by Echodelick Records (USA) and Sound Effect Records (Greece), while Grazil Records (Austria) will oversee the CD, cassette, and digital versions.

'Staring at the Sun Before Goin' Blind' is the follow-up to the successful third album, ‘ØR’, released in 2021 by theprestigious Pelagic Records, and it is imbued with emotional radiations that fuel disorientation and restlessness. Voices in contrast with metronomic rhythmic patterns, geometries distorted by fluid basslines, and mellifluous synths that compensate for the voids left by liquid and acidic guitars all contribute to creating a distinctly personal auditory mirage.

The album is produced by Amaury Cambuzat, a historic member of faUSt, and Ulan Bator, who co-authored the songs and arrangements with Campitelli. Using an unspecified number of magnetic tapes and analog machines, he forged the album's sound through his thirty-year experience in the kraut/avant/rock domain.

Oslo Tapes says: ‹‹ ’Staring at the Sun Before Goin' Blind’ is hypothetically a brief period traversed in eight tracks, from
the ethereal opening of 'Gravity' to the hypnotic 'Ethereal Song', the avant-syncretism of 'Deja Neu', and the psychedelic and modern deep house vibes of 'Reject Yr Regret'. It follows the harmonic framework of 'Like a Metamorphosis’ in a fusion of psychedelic jazz, the post minimalist fuzz-kraut of 'Middle Ground', the distorted and celestial 'Somnambulist's Daydream', and the tribal-kaleidoscopic title track finale. ››

While the Oslo Tapes capsule is in orbit, on board are Mauro Spada on bass and Davide Di Virgilio on drums, Stefano Micolucci on bass and upright bass, Federico Sergente on percussion, Nicola Amici, also known as Kaouenn, on guitars, synths, and percussion. There are also exceptional guests such as Berlin's Sicker Man from Trialogos on cello and Dahm Majuri Cipolla, the drummer of the Japanese post-rock band MONO. After both being part of the same label with Marco Campitelli, they cultivated a collaboration driven by their shared passion for kraut rock.

Recommended for fans of God Is An Astronaut, Neu!, Can, Porno For Pyros, Nine Inch Nails and Angel Of Light.

There is a sense of solitude in OSLO TAPES’ compositions which makes it easy to imagine them as interstellar jam sessions between cosmonauts, each in their own isolated space capsule.
