Sheffield trio Awooga return to the fold with their debut full-length, “Conduit”, set for release on April 20th, 2018, via Rockosmos.
They have also unveiled new video “Waterhole”, check it out below.
Following on from 2016's debut “Alpha” EP, Awooga have further explored the boundaries of dismal sludge and euphoric space to create something that that is very much their own.
“Conduit” is a vast soundscape that fills nearly every wave-length, touches on every emotion. It flows, it confuses, it's conflicted and it's beautiful. It is Awooga.
Inspiration from Frank Zappa, Alice In Chains and Tool is immediately apparent, Awooga also give a nod to Miles Davis, who was a champion of musical diversity and some of the world's greatest artists.
Transition, change and progression are all fundamental themes of “Conduit”, and the recording process was very much a direct expression via the individual members' performances.
Vocalist and bassist Tam Ali explains:
“In the exchange between the brain and the mind is the liminal place. This is where we reside. Brutality and Tranquillity. All pass through the "Conduit". The process of writing this album was extremely visceral, and direct flow of energy channelled out of the world and into a studio in the Galician mountains”.
