about
Since the summer of 1997, all four members of OMA YANG have been on the move, living in different cities, pursuing different interests, and allowing each to develop their individual styles. When the members found themselves in the same place at the same time the result was short, intense bursts of songwriting containing a sense urgency and energy. Where previous efforts, their split LP (on Sweden's Tripoli Records) and debut full length From the Heart of Jumbo Malaria (Slowdance Records), captured the band members developing their individual styles in a group environment, Bang Bang finds the quartet more polished than ever. The band utilizes their newfound vision by taking full advantage of the dynamics of distance that have shaped their unique sound. On OMA YANG's second album Bang Bang, the group achieves a new cohesiveness and clarity of sound within their music. It finds them creating a brand of noisy instrumental rock and roll that is up to par with their indie rock peers (Mogwai, Oxes, Don Caballero), as well as exploring their experimental side which owes much to musical pioneers such as Brian Eno, Captain Beefheart, and Can. Dueling guitars and a raucous rhythm section confront the listener with a playful dissonance that slowly evaporates into ethereal melodies built around synthesizers and delicate ambience. Bang Bang finds the band at their strongest yet, having finally come to reside together after years of exchanging tapes and writing songs from a distance. The
