After the successful release of Wax & Wane and Antecedent (feat Clay Gober of Polyphia), Melbourne progressive instrumental trio The Omnific, featuring the unique line-up of two bass players and a drummer, now present Scurryfunge, the third single from their long-awaited debut LP Escapades
The release of Escapades has been moved from September 10 to October 8 due to the on-going pandemic situation in Australia. The album will be released via Wild Thing Records.
Drummer for The Omnific, Jerome Lematua, comments on the song; “Scurryfunge, true to its meaning, is a chaotic journey representing our many years growing as writers and as a band. Being one of the most collaborative songs to date, it mirrors the unpredictability of life. Transitioning from groovy bops, to fast paced crazy blast beats (an Omnific first), to all the way down to a mellow double bass solo (the next logical bass step).”
Escapades is the band’s most adventurous work to date, an instrumental mosaic that dances between the edges of progressive rock, djent, funk, nintendocore, and synth-driven electronic soundscapes, an aural experience akin to a journey to an alternate world through a dimension-hopping Tesla. Escapades is a record for those seeking to be challenged, and for those who wish to be blanketed by atmosphere with swirling textures, syncopation, euphoric highs, and melancholic lows.
The album features a guest bassist performance from Clay Gober of Polyphia on the track Antecedent, with the record being brought to life by mixing engineer Adam Bentley (Felix Martin, Arch Echo), and mastering from Ermin Hamidovic (Periphery, Devin Townsend Band, Plini).
Escapades will be available on multiple formats and bundles. Check out the range at the Wild Things Official Store and digital options here: smarturl.it/theomnific
