Emerging two years since OEA’s previous release »Binate«, »Etches« is the result of an identity reset. The solo post-metal/experimental doom project, helmed by Ben Wiggs (Kerchiefs, Column Of Trout), finds its existential contemplations pushed through the mesh of grief and reinterpreted against the absurd reality of loss.

The new album’s five songs each engage the real-time experience of post-inevitability and re-frame Ben’s ontological pursuits against the crippling agoraphobia of picking up the pieces.

Sonically, mountainous riffs puncture the album’s oceanic long-form structures and tonally dissonant noise excursions, with vocals lending layers of texture rather than vying for focus.

“These five songs each cover different aspects of the grieving process as I’ve experienced it,” Ben says – “from grasping at memories to help untie the endless emotional knots, to plunging oneself into true acceptance of loss, and acceptance of a re-framed world that doesn’t quite speak your language any more.”
