Melbourne progressive instrumentalists, The Omnific have released Wax & Wane, the first single from their forthcoming album due later in 2021.
Toby Peterson-Stewart from the band comments on the track “After 2 years of being hidden away working on our craft, it’s exciting to finally share new music. Wax & Wane explores the natural ebbs & flows of musical inspiration, a concoction of riffs developed during the Covid lockdown. Throughout the song & music video, elements both audible and visible have been reversed and altered, giving meaning to the name. We are incredibly appreciative of the team we have assisting us, creating a coherent visual representation (artwork and music video) that enhances the music we create.”
Featuring the unique line up of two bass players and a drummer, The Omnific recently signed a worldwide record deal with Wild Thing Records, landed management representation with Wild Thing Presents and also joined the booking roster at Destroy All Lines!
After releasing three stunning EP’s the band have attracted interest and fans from all corners of the globe clocking in over 5 million Spotify streams and 2 million views on their Youtube channel. The Omnific’s accessible style is for all music lovers; from those seeking to be challenged to those who wish to be blanketed by atmosphere, creating an identifiable sound and diverse international fan base. With swirling textures, syncopation, euphoric highs and melancholic lows; The Omnific are truly captivating!
The band has established working relationships with reputable companies Darkglass Electronics, Neural DSP and Dingwall Guitars, seeing them represent the brands with performances at the Melbourne Guitar Show, bringing attention amongst the ‘Gear-Nerd’ community. Coupled with their online play-thru, gear demo and music videos, the band’s reach is beyond what many would expect from this impressive Melbourne trio so early in their career.
