In the wake of the release of Swedish post-rock luminaries OH HIROSHIMA’s 6th studio album And The Dead Tree Gives no Shelter, we are
reissueing 2 catalogue albums on vinyl: Oscillation (2019) and Myriad (2022). Four years in the making, Oscillation marks a
significant step forward for OH HIROSHIMA. On their third studio album, the Swedish band further refines its distinctive blend of atmospheric post-rock, weaving together shimmering guitar lines, weightless vocals and understated electronic elements into seven richly textured soundscapes.
Balancing intimacy with grandeur, Oscillation unfolds like a lucid dream—at once delicate, expansive and quietly captivating. OH HIROSHIMA began with Resistance Is Futile, a largely instrumental post-rock debut that already hinted at their atmospheric sensibilities,
with only subtle early traces of vocals. On In Silence We Yearn, the band’s identity became more defined, with vocals taking on a more central role and their sound expanding into emotionally driven, shoegaze-tinged post-rock. With Oscillation, they refined this approach into more complex, denser song structures, balancing clarity and abstraction while deepening their cinematic atmosphere. To get a sense of what the album has to offer, watch the music video for “Darkroom Aesthetics”. Recorded by Kristian Karlsson (pg.lost, Cult of Luna) and mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of Cult of Luna, Oscillation unfolds in vast, immersive soundscapes where fragile melodies drift through reverb-drenched space before building into powerful, cathartic waves of sound.
