Picture Credit: Julian Hand   The Oscillation - Heart of Nowhere Release Date: September 24, 2021 Length: 11:18 Genre: Darkwave / Shoegaze Origin: London , England The meditative, hallucinogetic, and mesmerizing sounds of Drone, Wave, and genres related to Post Rock and Krautrock are not always easy to access. But once you have found your way into this gigantic realm of sound artists, you will need guidance or a compass to keep track. I may not be the best of guidance here, but here is one artist that I want to talk about - this is Demian Castellano , main member of The Oscillation who has recently released his newest album "Untold Futures". The track on hand 'Heart of Nowhere' is a hypnotic hommage to profanity featuring Tim Weller on drums and Jem Doulton  on percussions. In the beginning of this eleven-minute beast of Drone, Wave, and Shoegaze, the Kraut- and Post Rock impact is still very present.

In the meantime, Doulton  has already published part four of the series, " Suddenly you're in the Sahara ". "My Brain's in my Skin" is powerful opposition to racist points of view and to people in power or in parliaments who support those ideas. Referring to an advisor of the British government who claimed that white people were superior to other ethnicities, Jem Doulton  decided to express his anger about such racist stupidity and produced a song with a strong anti-racist message. My Brain's In My Skin by Jem Doulton The song f...
