Lux Kablage – Oossoo (Digital Album – Reverse Alignment)
Genre/Influences: Soundscape, abstract, experimental.
Background/Info: Behind Lux Kablage is hiding a solo-project set up by Swedish artist Jesper Olsson. “Oossoo” is the 2nd album by Lux Kablage.
Content: Lux Kablage invites listeners to start a mysterious journey through their own imagination. This is the kind of ambient work, which is pretty abstract. It’s a sonic patchwork made of field recordings and crescendo sound waves bringing you into a weird and undefined dimension.
There’s less variation although there are some little sonic details, which you can better discover by using headphones or playing the record at a louder volume to really catch the essence and the visual power of the work.
+ + + : To listen and especially to enjoy this work you have to disconnect yourself from your ‘action modus’ to fully catch the obscure power emerging from the writing.
– – – : This is not what I would call an ‘easy’ work, which I’m afraid will be cherished by a restricted number of dark music lovers.
Conclusion: Lux Kablage exposes the mind to a dangerous experience where you possibly will encounter your darkest and most perverted side. The subtle aspect of the album is hidden behind little things.
Best songs: “And Our Golden Monument Sank Into Depravation”, “Devasted Upon The Hills”.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
