The Lothars

Oscillate My Metallic Sonatas

Wobbly

How can you follow up an album (Meet the Lothars) which features three theremin players overwhelming a single guitarist? Add another theremin player – you can never have too many. The pseudo-palindromically and most appropriately titled Oscillate My Metallic Sonatas features a series of the eeriest sonic landscapes you’ll hear this side of a B-movie. Drones, washes, textures and fields of analog tones form a gorgeous backdrop for the occasional guitar or theremin lead. Not for late night listening if you’re easily frightened.
