Oscuro announces debut album Can't Stop Now
We still know precious little facts about Oscuro, a Cambridge-based producer with incredible talent. However, we do know that he's set to release his debut album in February.
Oscuro created a recent Song Of The Day called "Can't Stop Now", which also turns out to be the title of his premiere long-player. We said then of the song that "if you're a fan of Caribou or similar post-dance IDM (eurgh, for lack of a better phrase), then Oscuro will be right up your street. His production's organic, stuffed with natural samples - like panpipes - and tribal beats. It's almost like traditional folk music of South America reworked into a hedonistic paean to movement. Chopped vox bleed into pitched percussion, and chiming synths blur into the wonderfully imperfect chaos, and rather than quantised, autotuned and plasticised - regardless of whether it is or not - it seems like its just dripping from the fingers of Oscuro. It feels very real, very of the moment, and as if he's letting the noise slip from his body."
Can't Stop Now is released 23 February.
