Orchestra Of Constant Distress

The fourth full length album of Orchestra Of Constant Distress, 'Concerns', marks the end of quadruple suite of intense, dissonant, reluctant improvisation. Looking back on five years of musical summits, which also has resulted in a couple of cassette releases and a live LP from the Roadburn festival, one might wonder if these musicians have come to some form of insight. Riffs seems to have deepened into complete compulsiveness as the rhythms from drummer Anders Bryngelsson (Brainbombs, No Balls) deliver both frustration and caution at the same time. Between the dissonant sounds of Henrik Rylander (Union Carbide Produtions, Skull Defekts) and the choleric play style by guitarist Joachim Nordwall (Idealist, Skull Defekts) a way of emotional vacuity is spreading. With the phlegmatic and elemental bass of Henrik Andersson (visual artist) the music of OOCD is a montage of soundscapes rather than the uniform of compositions. Rather than seeking a musical presence through improvisation they seems to perform absence and void. Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl including download code.
