The Oscillation – Bring It On
Interference, the eleventh album from The Oscillation (Demian Castellanos), was made over a period of time where Castellanos did not have a good stereo system, so he went without outside music for a couple of years to see how things would turn out.
Castellanos has been creating his own corner of psychedelic music underground for nearly twenty years, and he explains Interference as being “painting with sounds, rather than making music”. He says he wanted to create something that people could access, but he also wanted to push everything to extremes. Most of this came from previous scraps, intro/outro parts to unfinished songs, and previously discarded ideas (some over nineteen years old) that gradually began to take control of the songs they were intended to add depth too.
Castellanos compares this to having telephone conversations using instruments rather than words. Two of these scraps were finished after nineteen years in limbo; “Stasis”, and “When You Close Your Eyes.” Castellanos worked with Lorena Quintanilla of Lorelle Meets The Obsolete on two songs, one being “La Alusion,” which featured her writing both the vocals and the lyrics. Castellanos recorded and produced the entire project alone in his home studio located in the Czech Republic.
When asked about the inspiration behind “Bring It On”, Castellanos described it as an existential piece of work, however stated he wants listeners to feel hope rather than despair in the lyrics that describe a sense of drifting towards an unknown destiny.
