Yep, more Tri Angle love. oOoOO‘s Our Love Is Hurting Us EP hits shops on April 10th.
Tag: Tri Angle Records
Whether we’re talking about the Haxan Cloak, Vessel or the oOoOO EP that was just revealed yesterday, it seems like a week can’t go by without a new signing or release announcement from Tri Angle Records. We can’t complain, though; not with a growing roster that’s this consistent, right down to the Evian Christ mixtape that dropped today. A collection of high-quality antidotes to the YouTube rips that have been floating around, it arrives with the promise of a proper Tri Angle release later this year and a live appearance at the label’s London showcase this Saturday at Hackney Downs Studios, featuring Balam Acab, oOoOO, Holy Other, and DJ sets from the Haxan Cloak and the xx’s Romy Madley-Croft.

Here’s the breakdown, via the 20-year-old producer Alec Koone:
It’s an open ended album, and I think individuals should make their own meaning of it so that it is something actually real to them. It’s not classical music, but in the tradition of a classical work like a Bach Cello Suite, I see it as more of a whole musical piece with themes/motifs/ideas reoccurring throughout, connecting the tracks together as opposed to simply being a collection of songs that sit next to each other in isolation. It’s also an album that should be listened to loudly.
