Os
Bloomington\, Indiana's dark side always sneaks in under the radar\, ever present and ever fruitful... producing a few bands (and subsequent recordings) that blow a handful of minds and keep Bloomington pertinent to the underground as other bands continue to promote the city overground. OS produces a glorious muffled molasses sludge of sound. I am not so familiar with the 'doom' genre or whatever\, but OS is one of the best of that sound I've heard\, as well as seeping (slowly) into other genres I know full well about. And if you can't take the pace\, play it at 45rpm. -drekka

Patrick Neal Bowman
Bowman's distinctly American experimentalism falls neatly alongside the traditions now explored so thoroughly by the likes of the Table of the Elements catalogue. Part electroacoustic improvisation\, part cinematic eeriness\, part Americana\, Bowman's music rambles along and blooms slowly\, like a dying walk in the desert.
