Oglin (SWE): Neo/Crossover Prog

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Band that seem to be flying well below the radar, but certainly sound to me as though they belong here.
Not much info on line at all from a quick glance, but there is a contact email from where we can obtain this (if approved) on their very simple website: http://oglin.org/.

Two demos (2013 and 2014) on bandcamp: https://oglin.bandcamp.com/.

Their full debut album "Leeches and Lowly Worms" was released (digitally only) on December 8th, 2017 (but thus far hasn't made it onto bandcamp).

This is a concept album which tells the story of Charlotte, a fragile soul lost in the world. Through eleven songs we follow Charlotte as she works in an office, is hospitalized, escapes, is lost again and finally comes home.

Tracklist: 
1. Leeches And Lowly Worms (5:32)
2. The Office Cockerel (5:11)
3. Sabbatical (4:26)
4. Escape (5:48)
5. Customer Of Culture (4:10)
6. Mother (3:29)
7. Bridge (1:36)
8. Back To The Hearth (3:46)
9. Dream (5:14)
10. The Pill (2:23)
11. Charlotte (9:58)

Total Time 51:33

Line-up: 
- Ogge Sjölin / bass, vocal

For me it's closest to Neo Prog, but I've included Crossover in the topic title as an alternative.
