Ooze Release Debut EP Cableway on Robustfellow Productions

As I sit here and type this post out, I’m watching a Judiciary Committee hearing about impeaching my country’s president for his whether-they-impeach-him-or-don’t-they’re-still-shady-ass dealings with his counterpart in Ukraine. It’s not exactly thrilling television, but I kind of feel like it’s history happening and should probably be seen since, while I doubt it’s the last time it’ll happen before I’m dead — which in itself is kind of sad — it doesn’t happen all the time. At least not yet. I kind of already feel for the next Democrat elected to lead the executive branch of the US government, whoever and whenever that might happen, unless, you know, it never happens again because, well, descent into totalitarianism and all that.

Much more enjoyable, frankly, is this new EP from Vasylkiv-based heavy progressive post-rockers Ooze. It’s called Cableway and it came out yesterday through respected purveyor Robustfellow Productions. I’m not sure if it’s newly released or a reissue, or something maybe that came out earlier this year around the time they released the video for “Pillars of Creation” that you can also see below, but the news about the release came down the PR wire and I checked it out owing to my general trust in the label’s taste and dug what I heard. Simple as that. It’s a quick reminder as both sides of the debate I’m watching deify the slave owners who founded my country’s government in order to prove their disparate points, that there are many, many things that resonate beyond the reach of current events. Just at this moment, that reminder, is particularly welcome.

I don’t want any favors for posting about it.

Bottom line: We’re all screwed, but music’s still good:

Robustfellow Digital presents the debut full-length from multi-genre band OOZE

OOZE is a Vasylkiv-Kyiv multi-genre music band which is releasing its debut EP ‘Cableway’ via Robust-fellow Prods. Earlier this year the band has presented the self-released music video for the track ‘Pillars of Cretion’ which on a certain level conveys the idea of the band’s formation.

The band finds its musical style on the periphery of different heavy genres that sometimes touch ambient and symphonic soundscapes. The latter is embodied on the second, yet unreleased album of the band which can only be heard live. OOZE leaves the definition of the genre to the listeners and critics and if they have different opinions about it, it is exactly what should be expected.

Says the band: “Soon we will all meet winter, but the ooze team is not afraid to freeze due to the warmth of further news and events. We are pleased to announce the launch of joint activities with the Kiev label robustfellow – this is great news, or even a toast, and we are grateful that they shook hands on the way to common development.

“Now and immediately, we are ready to announce our first step – the long-awaited, but not forgotten: the release of the debut album titled ‘Cableway’ of the vasylkovo-Kyiv Band Ooze will be held on December 4 on all world platforms! There are 4 tracks waiting for you, each of which advocates its grotesque position and declares itself, unexpectedly complementing the organic unity of the album.”

‘Cableway’ tracklisting:
1. Intro 07:15
2. Debilis 03:21
3. Backend 04:42
4. Pillars of Creation 09:40

With or without musical labels, the band easily creates a grotesque, but warm atmosphere and doesn’t cease to experiment even on stage.

OOZE are Yegor Druzenko, Maxim Salov, Yevhenii Khrulov.
