OM - Variations On A Theme (Reissue)

Originally released in 2005 as OM's debut, Variations On A Theme is where Al Cisneros and Chris Hakius stripped heavy music down to its barest, most hypnotic essence. Two instruments, two men, one relentless pulse. Drag City brings it back into print on LP for a new generation of devotees.

Built on Cisneros's bass-as-mantra and Hakius's locked-in drumming, Variations On A Theme is meditative, crushing, and deeply spiritual. Tracks like On The Mountain At Dawn feel less like songs and more like rituals. Put it on loud, close your eyes, and let it take you somewhere else entirely.
