Omo - The white album

Entre Berlim e Londres andam os Omo, projecto formado por Berit Immig e David Muth. Acabadinho de lançar está o seu álbum de estreia The white album e vem cheio de texturas electrónicas de inclinação pop e intrumentais lo-fi. É algo entre o experimentalismo electrónico com um sabor a pop da nova geração, entre os pianos casio e a spoken word. E como eles próprios dizem, é pop doméstico para ocasiões domésticas. Daqui, vem o seguinte:

"Very occasionally, an album arrives which leaves us scratching our heads. An album which, in spite of repeated listens, does not open itself up or click into place. An album which you just don’t quite know what to make of. The White Album by Omo is such an album.

Omo are a two piece outfit consisting of Berit Immig and David Muth, They’ve been playing together for about five years, and this, their debut long player, is an assemblage of what they describe as “domestic pop for domestic occasions”. And it’s an unbelievably frustrating listen.
There’s absolutely no doubt that Omo possess unbounded creativity and flair. The White Album a lesson in exemplary electro textures. There is no shortage of ideas lurking among the exquisite concoction of beats and lo-fi instrumentation. Penultimate track ‘Turtle Neck’, for example, marries a looped guitar line to a pounding electronic pulse and the result, although hardly anything new, is still something vitaland invigorating. ‘König’ is an edgy, atmospheric piece of music which shows a creepier facet to the band’s sound."
