Om Collective
The running theory on the internet at the moment is that all sounds are actually small worms that fly through the air and into your brain. It has something to with Albert E’s (that’s Einstein to you) as yet unproven theory that all of the light from the sun is actually a bird yelling ancient greek at you across a lake. Anyway, we won’t want to bore you with the specifics, we want to talk about the well documented side effects of this theory of sound transmission. The Sound Doctors at Sound Doctrine have labelled this an ‘Ear Worm’ (patent pending).
Confused? Excited? Want to buy into our new pyramid scheme? Well, friends and enemies, let us show you how it works – the new single from OM Collective, ‘Psilies Kite’ is a great example of the phenomenon at work: the nice and the familiar combine with something new and strange and together they just crawl right on into your big ol’ dome and lodge themselves in there real firm using their ‘Worm Hooks’ (we’re not as confident that this one will stick)
‘Psilies Kite’ pulls in a broad range of influences with layers of psych, lots of mid noughts indie feels and Beatles references buried with the lyrics. All these elements are brought together with the vocals of former Sydney wonderkid James Blackwood. Blackwood brings some of his most elevated moments since Valar was a post-rock band. His soaring, interlocking melody wraps around the instrumental textures like a warm and familiar embrace. With the vocal as it’s backbone, the psychedelic and the ethereal warp together and glide around like an earthworm that’s just enjoying itself so much in your worm farm. Like a big, disgusting hedonistic son of a bitch that’s just gobbling up earth like it’s discount day at the earth store.
If you leave your full name, bank account details and your mother’s maiden name in the comments section we’ll send you a starter pack containing records such as ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me’ and Matt Corby’s most radio friendly singles. In the meantime, enjoy ‘Psilies Kite’ and get excited for OM Collectives’ debut record.
