OH HIROSHIMA Release Myriad Album Track-By-Track Video: "Humane"
January 27, 2022, 2 years ago
Following their latest magnum opus, Oscillation (2019), Swedish post-rock masters, Oh Hiroshima, return with their fourth studio album, Myriad, slated for release on March 4 via Napalm Records. In this track-by-track video, the band discuss the first single, "Humane":
Due to pandemic lockdowns, the band channeled all of their time and creativity into delivering an epic successor, unquestionably raising the bar and excelling with grandeur.
It’s a mixture of emotions - from infinite sadness to moments of clarity and heart-rending melodies blending into a rumbling volcano of aesthetic noise and ferocious power, but also the unique use of trumpets, cello and trombones throughout - that sees Oh Hiroshima outclass and grow renowned not only in post-rock circles, but beyond. In comparison to previous works, the band incorporates more influences from various genres, causing each track to stand out from the next.
Upon becoming a duo due to former bassist Simon Forsberg departing the band in early 2021, Oh Hiroshima were provided a challenging chance to step up their songwriting game. There is still a hefty dose of post-rock to be heard on Myriad, but brothers Jakob Hemström and Oskar Nilsson managed to kick down the creative walls of the band, making use of a much broader musical palette.
Recorded by Kristian Karlsson (pg.lost, Cult Of Luna), and once again mixed and mastered by Cult Of Luna’s Magnus Lindberg, with Myriad, Oh Hiroshima demonstrate outstanding ability - melding captivating melody with epic, fulminating fervency, and delivering a majestic masterpiece that will undoubtedly be an early album of the year contender.
Myriad will be available in the following formats:
- 6 Page CD Digipak
- Purple Gatefold Vinyl LP
- Digital Album
