Veering between krautrock edginess and bittersweet pop melancholia, droning medicated tones and noise driven no wave fuzz, The Oscillation recalls the kosmische musik of Neu! and Tangerine Dream interpreted with an eye on Pil's dubbed out punk funk, Miles Davis' experimentalism and Spacemen 3's strung out blues rock.
Beginning in 2008 as the solo project of Demian Castellanos, when DC Recordings released the debut "Out Of Phase", The Oscillation quickly expanded into a formidable live force. The enlarged ensemble has featured numerous different musicians plus the live visual manipulations of film maker Julian Hand.
After a long period of touring and journeying through sonic wildernesses the band released "Veils" in 2011 on the DIY All Time Low imprint. The period following this has seen them in the ascendancy, honing their live shows and sharing stages with the likes of Silver Apples, Trans Am, Wooden Shjips, The Legendary Pink Dots, Moon Duo, Zombie Zombie, Beak, Anika and many more, which more or less brings them to the present - a fiercely independent musical force who are gestating their third album and preparing further excursions into their own unique spectrum of sonic experience.
