AD Ozium, the Washington, D.C. project led by Jeremy Moore, released the album “In the Style of Dead Sparrows” offering a mix of drone, noise and dark ambient. The release is available through the project’s Bandcamp page.
On this new release Moore weaves folk, jazz and no wave into a continuous, structure-less form. The album is available via the project’s Bandcamp page.
The album follows “If Membership Is Slumber”, a two-track release that pairs the vocal piece “Terrorgramophone” with the instrumental “Lifespring”.
About AD Ozium
AD Ozium is a Washington, D.C.-based project by Jeremy Moore. The project combines folk, jazz, no wave, dark ambient and noise rock elements with abrasive textures, fractured rhythms, drones, loops and unstable guitar passages. Moore handles guitars, synthesis, drones, loops and noise, with vocals also credited on the earlier release “If Membership Is Slumber”.
The project appeared publicly in 2026 through Saccharine Underground, the Washington, D.C. musical collective, artist network and non-profit label connected to Moore’s wider body of work. At Side-Line we previously covered Moore’s related projects in Zabus release second album in three months: “The Future of Death” – Out now and Bell Barrow drops debut LP “CoreCore Pulp” – Out now.
The first AD Ozium release, “If Membership Is Slumber”, was issued on May 19, 2026. The two-track release contains “Terrorgramophone” and “Lifespring”. The material was recorded between January and March 2026 at The Prisoner’s Cinema in Washington, D.C., engineered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios in April 2026 and produced by Moore.
The project’s next release, “In the Style of Dead Sparrows”, followed on June 9, 2026. The 10-track digital album includes “Lifespring”, “Tender Loving Seed”, “Whore of Sound”, “Music From The Opfer’s Box”, “Faith Is A Hole”, “Portents of The Terminal Mind”, “The Nazarene Distortion”, “Death Valley Superbloom”, “Throne Verse” and “A Practical Act of Prowess”. This album was recorded between January and February 2026 at The Prisoner’s Cinema in Washington, D.C. as well, and was engineered by Andy Baldwin at Metropolis Studios in May 2026 and produced by Moore. Moore also created the cover concept and design.
AD Ozium sits close to his more textural and unstable work. Zabus used progressive post-punk, proto-goth and electronic percussion structures, while his other project Bell Barrow moved into instrumental noise, power electronics, free jazz psychedelia and avant-garde black metal.
“In the Style of Dead Sparrows” is available as a digital album through AD Ozium’s Bandcamp page.
