It’s been years now — well, just about two, judging from the sun. OM have done their time in the desert, and ever-changing, are returned. It’s true that the one way pursued by OM leads in many different directions.
It is a mystic path. Songs come from innumerable sources, filtering through the external and the internal. OM albums are rituals, personal convictions transcripted into verse. Playing the music is visceral, emotional, a catharsis of soul and spirit.
As the ghat liberates soul from body to the ultimate, so too do OM strive to disengage from the finite object of their objective mortal self to rest in the empty and timeless witness. And in doing so, they seek to release you as well.
Since 2004, OM have burned their name into the annals, trolled the fertile crescent, faithfully made more out of what little was put into their hands, forged three full-length albums from white-hot evaluations of the infinite. The duo that is OM is composed of bass and drums and whatever else comes into their mind that will serve the song and do it justice.
So, with that in mind, OM have five dates in the UK and are playing at Engine Rooms on 13th December 2009.
