Om Announce European Tour Dates
It’s now been over three years since Om released their last album, 2012’s Advaitic Songs (review here), on Drag City. It was, at least as far as I was concerned, the best record that came out that year. Still, Om are about due, with two-to-three years space between the two LPs prior while their first three hit in a row, 2005, 2006, 2007. No doubt their material has gotten more complex since then, and I’m perfectly willing to continue waiting — not much of an alternative, I suppose — but there hasn’t been much word of anything happening for a follow-up to Advaitic Songs, and it seems like it’s getting to be time where one might expect some.
Yeah, I know. It’ll happen when it happens. One wouldn’t get impatient listening to Om, so one probably shouldn’t get impatient waiting for a new Om record to surface, but I definitely wouldn’t have complained if the tour dates below, which are cut and pasted directly as I saw them presented on Thee Facebooks with the poster by David V. D’Andrea, had come with any kind of notice, “New stuff in the works,” or something like that. Even a sentence. Hell, a fragment. Grammar is whatever. New Om would be where it’s at.
As it is, it just so happens that I revisited Advaitic Songs this weekend, and I don’t know when the last time you put it on was but it’s still brilliant. At least if Om are going to make their audience wait, they do so after putting out a record that more than stands up to the stretch of time.
