Om Touring in February / March with Wovenhand
I cannot stress enough how much you should own Om‘s BBC Radio 1 (review here). Yes, it’s a double 10-inch vinyl, and I’m perfectly willing to admit that that’s kind of a silly thing when it would’ve fit on a single 12-inch platter, but face it, you’re going to listen to the download anyway, so quitcherbitchin and get on board. I’m only trying to make your life better by telling you this.
Do I think it’s a coincidence that Om have announced tour dates the same week that bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros‘ other band — they’re called Sleep, you know — have announced a hiatus? I don’t know. Probably? They’ll have Wovenhand out with them though, as they did on a tour leading to Monolith on the Mesa earlier this year, so if you want to think of this as a fuller leg of that run, go for it. Om have toured pretty steadily over the time that Cisneros has been/was involved in Sleep again, so it’s not like it’s some sudden resurgence or anything.
Of course, the big question is when/if/whether there will be a new album out next year, and if this tour might preface or accompany or otherwise somehow relate to that possibility. I have no insight on the matter other than to say, “golly, that sure would be nice,” so yeah, no insight at all basically. Shrug.
Go see Om. And buy that goddamn live record.

Well , I hope OM releases a new studio album as a consolation for the forthcoming long Sleep absense .
During my 20s I wasnt upset for any band stating they would take and indefinite break or long hiatus , now im my 40s that same situation get me sad and disillusioned because now it looks like they wont return after a while when they realize they dont wish to go back and they are happier with other projects because in our 20s we had time, they had time but later we wont, they wont and the perspective changes a lot
well morning reflection
