Major Market Trek to Include High Profile Performances as Part of Austin Pysch Fest and Scion Rock Fest
REVOLVER Premieres Blazing New Track From Respected Cult Rockers New Album "Spiritus Mundi"
AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR
Celebrated French underground psych rock trio AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR has announced a U.S. tour in support of its new album Spiritus Mundi, which has been hailed as a "blend of psychedelic rock, space rock, garage rock, and even a little Donovan-derived folk" by Decibel. Now, with a head of steam and an established name in the U.S., AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR will perform the first-ever U.S. live shows of its storied career. The tour will kick off on April 23 in NYC and include A-level performances as part of both the Austin Psych Fest (May 2) and Scion Rock Fest (May 17).
Revolver magazine recently premiered the white hot new AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR track "Turn on Your Mind." Rock ANO's "Turn on Your Mind" now at THIS location!
AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR -- formed in 2000 by David Sphaèr'os -- creates utterly unique and fantastically tripped out occult psych rock inspired by parallel dimensions, voodoo, ethnic trance, horror and cult movies (from the 1920's to the 60's), painters like Hieronymus Bosch and Salvador Dali, dark underground literature (H. P. Lovecraft, Isidore Ducasse, Antonin Artaud), aliens and UFOs! A modern mix of Krautrock / motorik with Hawkwind-style psychedelia, Hendrix-styled, ultra tripped out guitar action and an apocalyptic, Raw Power energy, AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR's mind-burning, dark and dirty "chaos-sound" is a cauldron full of seething, psychedelic rock. ANO looks and sounds like it was buried in a tomb in the late 60's / 70's and has just been dug up, ready to resume its wild sound-making once again.

AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR "Spiritus Mundi"
From the psych-rich shake of "Turn on Your Mind" and "Human Toad" to the death-ride kick of "Up to the Sky" and "Crystal Man" through to the twisted take on the 13th Floor Elevators' "Roller Coaster", AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR's Spiritus Mundi plays
like a haunting dream of dark and disturbing things, offering a
can't-miss masterclass on the emotional possibilities of sound. Spritus Mundi contains
11 nighttime tracks brimming with rhythmic switchbacks and momentum
swings that push darkness into strange and intriguing corners. The
record replaces ANO's riotous rollicking with shadowy landscapes of grim sound that encapsulate the band's eccentricity.
AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR was the hand-picked opening band for THE CULT's
2009 European "Love" tour, has shared the stage with bands such as
The Dead Weather, The Black Angels and Black Acid and is highly
recommended for fans of Joy Division, Black Mountain, Hawkwind, Man's
Gin, Goblin, MC5, Roky Erickson and Acid Mothers Temple!
AQUA NEBULA OSCILLATOR is: David Sphaèr'os (Guitar, Vox, Sithar and Organ, Master Of Ceremony), Adrian Bang (Drums, Orchestra Conductor), Andreas Carrere (oscillation, organ, flute, backing vocals) and Alexis Raphaeloff (Bass, EarthQuaker). Follow the group on Facebook.
