The end of humanity, long confined to myth and fantasy, now feels increasingly tangible, accelerated by climate disruption and social and political tensions. It is within this dark landscape that Lapse, the new album by OXYD, takes shape.
Blending rock, contemporary music and melancholic melodies, the album portrays the inexorable collapse of our civilisation, while allowing a faint sense of renewal to emerge.
After nearly twenty years of working together, the five musicians continue to pursue a deeply unclassifiable sound, free from stylistic categories and conventions. Their music grows from a shared identity, shaped by individual personalities and a form of group telepathy, unconcerned with trends or labels.
