OdNu :: Expansive Nothingness (Audiobulb)

As if to shine a light on hazy dreamlike states of consciousness, OdNu carefully plucks away—offering vast pseudo-shoegaze entanglements, blending organic sounds with digitized fizz-fuzz compositions.

Tiny sound sculptures glow and spark in all the right places

We could all use some rest and relaxation in this turbulent and often anxious-filled world where everything happens at lightening speed, news flashes come into and out of view only to be replaced with some other distraction.

OdNu’s Expansive Nothingness is an aptly titled full length album on the ever-dependable Audiobulb imprint, and diving in without any background about OdNu, it is refreshing to learn that these tiny sound sculptures glow and spark in all the right places—fragmenting and evolving along the way. Each piece is filled with tranquilized microscopic glitches, found sounds, flowing instrumentation, and fluid tones’n drones drifting in the background. Cinematic moments are featured throughout, offering a glimpse into the artists’ vast musical arrangements as they create otherworldly and colorful soundscapes. Strings merge with tangled ambient shifts as miniature melodies flicker and pulse.

As if to shine a light on hazy dreamlike states of consciousness, OdNu carefully plucks away—offering vast pseudo-shoegaze entanglements, blending organic sounds with digitized fizz-fuzz compositions. A dense yet carefully executed album that is at once blissful and brittle as it is contagious and captivating. If ever there were a more on-point title, this expansive nothingness is fully explored.
