Ohio Mark - Whoever (2022)

Ohio Mark is a Belgian trio whose music is all about the post-rock's noise with heavily ethereal atmosphere around it. The wittily-named band have just released their second EP called Whoever and the content here is interesting to say the least.

Their music is ethereal and airy but also quite fast-paced and energetic. Think more SOM and Astronoid than Immanu El. The noisy backgrounds are extremely catchy and intriguing at the same time; the drums dictate the fast pace that is filled with thick guitar noise to the point where it fits the dispersed vocals, making it a homogeneous whole. The music is said to be "thoroughly rooted in a hazy kind of reverb, distortion with an ever present eagerness to radically shift moods". It's noise made pretty with the help of similar means as My Bloody Valentine did but in a more post-rock attire. 

Ohio Mark are playing at dunk!festival this year and I'll make sure to catch them live.
