Underwater Sleep Orchestra – Other Sides Of Nowhere (Digital/CD Album – Cryo Chamber)
With this new album, Pär Boström (Cities Last Broadcast, Kammarheit) and Bruce Moallem (God Body Disconnect) present their third excursion under the banner of Underwater Sleep Orchestra.
Comprised of nine tracks, the album draws the listener into a familiar realm of Dark-Cinematic ambience. Its atmosphere shifts between obscure, abyssal depths and bleak post-apocalyptic visions. Low-resolution soundscapes and carefully placed field recordings animate the compositions, lending them an organic and unsettling presence. The music remains suspended and drifting, yet an imagined malevolent force can be sensed throughout, watching and closing in.
While this release can be seen as a relatively ‘classic’ entry within the genre, the duo once again succeeds in captivating the listener through their distinctive and shadow-laden aesthetic. (Rating:7½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
