"For fans of Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow, Crass, The Slits, and any other wierdo punk we fell in love with as youths." - John Dwyer

Supergroup featuring members of Osees, Bow Wow Wow, Adam and the Ants, Fine Young Cannibals, Flying Luttenbachers, Lydia Lunch's Retrovirus, Naked Lights (which we have a single colour vinyl copy of in stock)

This album gave off this bratty, glitchy, electronically-splattered punk energy — like something recorded in a smoky basement with a pile of broken synths and loose wires. It reminds a little of early-era Hole or even some of the rawer noise-punk DIY corners. There’s a strong identity here and the female vocalist especially gives the album a lot of character. Her delivery fits the vibe and definitely adds something distinct.

Chime Oblivion began out of the blue. David Barbarossa reached out to John Dwyer saying he was a fan of Osees and he was invited to a show in London. The two hung out and hit it off, "then I rabbit holed on Bow Wow Wow too…," Dwyer recalls. "I reached out to David and suggested that we try and write some songs together... I flew David out, we met at my studio and spent five days writing basic drums ideas." The two got to know each other and had a lot of laughs.

Dwyer then brought in Weasel Walter, knowing that he would be perfect "to add all that legitimate old-school weird proto-punk no wave guitar scratch to it, which of course he did masterfully." Next came Tom Dolas to play fuzzy marimba, and the fabulous H.L. Nelly, "as I knew her from a record I’d put out back in the day for a band called Naked Lights from Oakland. I knew that she could pull off the vocal style I had in mind."

Together, the group created their debut self-titled album. for Deathgod.

For those collecting Osees releases, we're about to offer up ALL of the newest reissues on Dwyer's latest creation, Deathgod Records!
