Big update, upcoming releases

I've got a few releases coming up, thought I'd quickly mention them here;

As mentioned before, Bono has a bizcard coming out on Stone Lion, I'm not sure when that'll be released but I imagine itll be before this other stuff

We also recorded a second self-titled album with the same personel (Matt / Kyle / Dan) as the first, 3 untitled tracks, 36 minutes. Will be released on CDr by Oligoscene in a month or two. The lineup is the same as the first Bono album but the sound is more akin to the Stone Lion bizcard material.

Also working on that single giant track that spans more than 60 mins, will also be released on CDr by Oligoscene, probably a month or two after Bono II.

Tar Pits has a c40 split with Dotåbåtå coming out on Hoarse, one track, kinda sounds like dark ambient for the first half and then morphs into some Basinski-like shit.

Starting work on a second Tar Pits album, only one track/5mins done so far though so that wont be done until the end of the year or later.

Finally, check out what the Tar Pits/Dotabata split will apparently look like:

Tar Pits - Cold War Paranoia

Tar Pits - Cold War Paranoia
CAN-039
Released in 2010
CDr, unlimited edition

1. Cold War Paranoia (39:35)


Tar Pits is my dark ambient/drone project inspired by Lull, Thomas Köner, Troum, The Caretaker, etc. I was very proud of this particular song when I first finished it, but now that I've had time to distance myself from its creation I can hear a lot of flaws that I'll hopefully improve in future. Overall I'm still pretty happy with it, especially the very beginning. Cantankerous Records were nice enough to release it and I'm pretty sure its an unlimited edition so you can still buy it from them if you want a physical copy for whatever reason. They also release plenty of other cool shit.

Recording again...

Bono has been pretty slack over the last 6 months but we finally recorded some new stuff last Monday and what resulted is easily the harshest, wildest and all-around best thing we've done yet. It's probably going to get released on Stone Lion as part of a bizcard series. Really psyched for it and the other stuff we've got planned for this year.

Next thing we're planning to record is a gigantic 65+ min track, hope that turns out just as well.

Bono - Obscured Voice


Bono - Obscured Voice

OLG002
Released in 2009
CDr, edition of 10

1. Obscured Voice (34:18)


This is our second album, much thicker than our first. Stitched together from a number of separate jams in December 2009 into one continuous whole. Bono is Kyle & Dan on this one.

I actually have a couple copies of this left. If anyone wants to trade, send an email to oligoscene@gmail.com

Bono - Bono

I got really sick of the layout of myspace and mediafire links seem to be censored as spam. So I'm switching to this for the most part.

Here, have an album:


Bono - Bono

OLG001
Released in 2009
CDr, edition of 10

1. Untitled (18:09)
2. Untitled (9:27)


This is the first album Bono made, recorded in June or July of 2009. We were a three piece (Matt, Kyle, Dan) with a real primitive setup at the time. All the physical copies have long since been traded.
