Sana Obruent\Plasticstatic - Skaldskapur (Fiction)

Sana Obruent\Plasticstatic - Nisi Vindices Delicta (Guilt)

"Pull the skin over cold steel
blackened lungs won’t breathe but fire will!
Satiate my tongue with battery acid,
sign on the hill says NO ONE DANCES,
but white flags are waltzing on the oil stains,
on the blisters of hearth, rain, and bone;
animal skulls flower on clusters of speaker cones
that cry and wail and moan like cats in holes.

She drew her lips into a bullet kiss,
pumping black bellows spit and hiss
a jagged bit key goes into her breast -
with a sigh she spilled her guts and confessed,
there were red moths and butterflies inside her,
they flowed out in flaming streams into the rusted world,
we hollowed out the fair of spoiled grounds
and that old hungry grave ate our wounds.

They drew a circle around her iron feet, oh
how she’d loved the sweetness of honey teeth
we raised our dead anthems to burning fields
and gave up all we gathered, just bits of peels,
out where the slaves pumped and craved,
the howls of pain of their chains and broken wheels.
She made that old machine baby cry and squeal!
And sang the wastes to sleep with a tongue of steel!“

The Preparation

Sana Obruent - The Preparation

Taken from the new album "August" due out 31st August

As if Sana Obruent's Paul Lopez wanted to imitate the sound of icebergs floating by or massive mountain ranges scraping the earth, the new album "August" is intense Drone played with guitars only, bulldozer-like, heavy Drone that shakes the listener’s living room walls. “II” sounds like the field recording of a giant spaceship which is passing through an alien portal heading for planet earth with dubious intentions on their minds.
With this new album Sana Obruent’s Drone is cracking up the sky and drowning you in an inescapable flood of liquid walls. And it sounds like witnessing the thoughts of many lives at the same time. Organic and overwhelming.

August

Sana Obruent - II

An audio interview with Ryan Knapp from the blog From Corners Unknown speaking with Paul Lopez (Sana Obruent) discussing the true story of the album "August."

Paul Lopez is the founder of The Shoegaze Collective, the sole mind behind the dark ambient project Sana Obruent, and the drummer for the Shoegaze duo Angel Falls. In this interview, Paul and I discuss his first steps into music, being a drummer at heart, his projects from the late 80s and early 90s, with a focus on his work as Sana Obruent. 

Thank you for listening.

Interview clip with Paul Lopez (Sana Obruent) discussing the release of the album "August."

Sana Obruent is the drone/ambient project from Paul Lopez who lives “somewhere in California”. His music is recorded live, at night and in total isolation – which is something you can hear.

The best description is imagining he's out in the hills somewhere concocting this stuff at the dead of night. Most of his tracks come in at around the ten minute mark and consist of subtly evolving tones in which is firmly set to "relax". 

Like the best music of this genre it undulates and churns. Coming in and out of focus like a blurred photograph of something terribly bleak.


You may listen, you may even witness something slightly disturbing, but you are unable to move. 

Enjoy the freeze.
