Oscar Lang has surprised released his brand new album ‘[pieces]’, check it out below.
The nine-track full-length project sees Lang return to his DIY roots, as he explains in an Instagram post: “This album is a collection of songs from the last few years all made within the four walls of my bedroom. more bedroom music soon.”
Speaking about the album in a statement (via Clash), Lang shared: “‘[pieces]’ is about returning to a place that I so dearly missed, when I used to drop songs like selfies and l didn’t need a song to be recorded in a studio to put it out. I realised when becoming independent, after a few years of making studio records, that really that’s at the heart of who I am and what I enjoy doing as a musician and what made me fall in love with it.”
The LP follows 2023’s ‘Look Now’ and 2021’s ‘Chew The Scenery’. In a three-star review of the latter, NME shared: “These stand-out moments continue to show exactly what the Dirty Hit-signed musician, who emerged with fuzzy, bedroom pop tracks such as ‘The Moon Song’, is capable of. Spluttering into action, the album’s opener ‘Our Feature Presentation’ melds rowdy rock influences with a gargling, experimental edge – it’s just a shame it peters out so soon. In some ways, it’s the story of this album. Often, you’re left wishing he’d pushed it further.”
